In the many cases, with his skill and power the Uzumaki was holding within his hands the fate of his enemies. Frequently ending them for years on end, to where the lad had become numb to the pain. Until something clicked within his head, after so many countless battles and lives taken.

It was proven to be meaningless. Leading to the Uzumaki to cause rumbles throughout the country by leading an open resistance against all of the corrupt factions. Through one-year, the rebellion managed to swiftly cut through the high-ranking officials of Tanigakure and Takumi eliminating any and all corrupt officials.

Personality[]

Ketsugo Uzumaki has been through many things in his lifetime, and what he has gone through has molded him into the man that he is today. He treads very lightly, never not cautious, and with the consistent need to be in control of his emotions. The prideful man could only depend on himself at most times, thus showing off his cockiness every once in a while. The love and admiration from the citizens tend to go to his head at times, though it would only force him to grow stronger, and with the addition of his wife and son, he only grew more protective. Naturally, as an artist, he pays close attention to details, becoming completely sensitive since anything could be everything to one man. He’s very sensitive when it comes to his writing and art, the form of expression being one of his few outlets. And as a perfectionist, Ketsugo only strives for the absolute best for him, and for his loved ones.

His pride in his skills also accent him as a person. As a skilled fuinjutsu user, he hates to be outdone. When it comes to seals, he takes intricate time in his seals, going to the furthest extent to do the best as possible. As an Uzumaki, he possesses strong respect for his history and his ancestors, thus invoking the deep pride in his creation of seals. However, behind that facade, Ketsugo once was left with himself to deal with depression at times where he avoided anyone. Most of it is based on his father’s death, blaming himself and having occasional PSTD hallucinations. The traumatic experience has caused him to falter and get distracted in the past, however, he's overcome the anxiety disorder during the past decade. He continued to push through the Land of Rivers and their revels, annoyed and becoming ruthless in his approach. In that Civil War was where he lost his father, Ryuga Uzumaki had been one of the roadblocks to the rebel’s victory, and at his death, Ketsugo was forced to take the helm. Even after all of his suffering, Ketsugo continues to live through the waves, proceeding with the inherited wealth from his father’s business, to his position as the Hokage, doing his best to live his days as the best he can serving the village.

The Uzumaki Clan was also scattered across various lands, however, regathered by Ketsugo Uzumaki alongside his father, Ryuga who had made a fortune from the companies the man owned. With the recollection of Uzumaki there, Ketsugo later became clan lord and visited Uzushiogakure that had been rebuilt by other leaders. After discussion, Ketsugo had not appreciated in the way the leadership had easily trusted others considering the destruction befallen them. There, Ketsugo with the assistance of others and Kenzou (ケンゾー, "Kenzō") Uzumaki (うずまき一族, "Uzumaki Ichizoku"), overthrew the leadership. This was something that benefited the clan in confidence, as well as through discipline taught them to be more diligent and hardworking. This ultimately bolstered the clan strength and confidence, where Ketsugo was crowned as the Uzumaki Lord; garnering respect from many Uzumaki across the world. His power goes unquestioned by some, and the masses may heed his call should he require it despite all the years passing. With much love from the Land of Rivers and Land of Eddies, Ketsugo latter ventured into the Land of Fire and oddly enough became the Kage. As the Jūsandaime Hokage, Ketsugo has served a decade as kage that drastically increased his notoriety from his village hero status. Ketsugo (ケツゴ, Ketsugo), is a man who cannot be categorized with regular shinobi. Words have traveled from near and far. Many others see, that Ketsugo isn't a typical shinobi. Whatever historical figures have been regarded as masters of fuinjutsu, Ketsugo is a man that is reputed to be able to compete with whomever. Stories of him are told across the Land of Fire, as well as outside of the Fire Empire and across the shinobi world. Each of the colonies of the Land of Fire, Uzushiogakure, and the Uzumaki clan has further developed in the craft of Fuinjutsu. Ten years ago the City Hidden in the Leaves was destroyed by a mysterious power from another world.

Tools[]

Aka no Tsūru Izādo (赤いウィザードのツール, "Tools of the Red Wizard" Viz: "Weapons of Sorcery" A name Ketsugo has cataloged to all of the kunai in his possession, as well as sharing the same name as ofuda tags that are purposed for preexisting techniques that have been sealed inside of them. These kunai, which are inside of his arsenal are colored with his ink. As a result, he's able to control and manipulate the kunai when thrown, allowing him to change its trajectory and adjust its speed. Whilst the kunai is covered with ink, at any point in time Ketsugo can substantially increase the amount of ink dictating the mass, speed, and strength. Getting touched by this inked weapon would leave an immovable mark on nearly any item, individual, or surface that will last indefinitely. Now the ofuda tags, differentiate itself from the composition of most tags. Made from a special material, whose durability matches that of steel and sharpness as a bladed weapon.

Scroll of Gyōshū (収穫, Harvesting Scroll, Viz: Assembling Scroll) This scroll is inscribed with countless of Pentagram-designed sealing formula, each formula marked with seven complete patterns indicating the elements of the five basic chakra natures and yin yang. When opened the scroll release a very light near translucent substance over a technique and once connected to a technique activates immediately upon touch. Each pattern possesses two circles; each circle possessing designated functions. One circle possess the function of absorbing and containing the power of the chakra nature, absorbing and storing the nature element inside of the seal. Suppressing the most potent chakra no matter the power, size of said technique. The technique ultimately absorbs whatever into its respective elemental pattern, by breaking down a technique and pulling it apart forcefully. Effective upon highly advanced nature transformation; even upon kekkei tota. The seal deconstructs the ratios of spiritual and physical energy by dramatically shifting the balance, breaking the chakra into their separate affinities, absorbing them into their specified pattern. The other function serves the process of unsealing the absorbed technique in its reverse motion allowing the user of this seal, to launch the technique that had previously been sealed.

"The pen is mightier than the sword, this weapon was forged to embody that concept" Chidekakuyari (Lit.血で書く槍; The Spear that Writes in Both Blood and Ink) A large brush that has somewhat of an appearance similar to a short glaive, with the top portion taking the form of a single-edged blade reminiscent of a tip of a chokutō, attached to the long brush handle.

The creations from the spear are rumored to craft whatever the heart desires to the utmost accuracy, at the expense of tremendous amount of chakra. As the blade would produce red ink as a result.

Chakra and Attributes[]

Chakra[]

Without question, Ketsugo Uzumaki boast a herculean chakra. Perhaps a result of his heritage, a descendent of Uzumaki and Senju. Ketsugo naturally possess unadulterated amount of Yang Energy. With chakra and body that is unequivocally unique in comparison to Uzumaki and Senju descendants. There is a natural muscular strength behind his chakra that enables his chakra to fend well against hazardous chakra and energy, allowing him to stand amongst various peculiar Yokai and remain nearly unbothered by their essences. As a Uzumaki with special properties to the composite of his chakra structure he's able to manifest the rare and mythical chakra chains of his blood limit.

Chakra Reserves[]

Even too Uzumaki and Senju standards, Ketsugo chakra reserves are known to surpass even those considered blessed. Tailed Beast without a Tail (尾を持たない尾獣, O o Motanai Bijū, English TV: Tailless Tailed Beast) too fall short in comparison to the Sage chakra reserves, which surprises Sensors who find no end to the container he is. A frightening reserve intimidating those without fortified mental faculties or willpower, as the sheer expression of chakra can drastically alter the shape of an environment from sheer pressure and radiance. The sages chakra can be variable and represent different mood and vibes, shifting as the weather, from cold and daunting to warm and loving. Furthermore, Ketsugo reserves stand a testament as his ability to crank out A-S-Rank techniques continuously throughout a battle. As the sage chakra reserves are commensurable too that of Hashirama Senju, as the latter, the depth of chakra is unknown and therefore often mistaken for a Jinchuuriki. Currently in a split state, the Uzumaki chakra reserves houses still within that threshold.

Chakra Control[]

Ketsugo-with-bg-2

Ketsugo used to sit and stand in a still position for days on end while having to move his chakra which was a brutal training regime he was forced to undergo. Another training session consisted of having to flow chakra through objects while remaining perfectly still despite an object being a couple meters away. And regardless of the tough training regiments, Ketsugo had a natural never-give-up attitude to continually refine his control. When learning sage mode, Ketsugo had the elephants also teach him methods of refining his chakra control further. At this point, Ketsugo was only wasting minimal amount of chakra with the greatest amount of efficient he could muster. Becoming precise to perform fuinjutsu with utmost precision and accuracy within his chakra pathway system. This reinforcement came along with the tedius sessions he underwent within Isles of the Elephants and with the Uzumaki. When becoming a sage, Ketsugo chakra control became great enough to flow chakra into something he isn't even touching from afar and manipulate techniques from long distances. Doing all this with only the necessary chakra output amount of any technique. The control of his chakra enables him to cast jutsu without hand seals and through his chakra points without the need of any/or much preparation. Ketsugo chakra control also allows chakra to flow at a rate much faster than most could ever fathom or react too, maneuvering and weaving at speeds which could match space-time ninjutsu and those donning speeds accessed through special transformations.

Life Force[]

Ketsugo naturally possesses an otherworldly life-force and vitality that is incomprehensible to most shinobi. With his amount of life-force and vitality, the strength he exudes is phenomenal. As a member of the Uzumaki clan, inheriting a grandiose and powerful amount of Yang Energy, Ketsugo is a pure representative of the village of longevity. Even that statement would be considered an underestimation, as the Uzumaki has split his life-force and chakra into five portions as a result of the Red Canvass: Temporal Soul Duplication Technique while still retaining enough bountiful energy and power to house grandiose amount of vitality and have the Reaper Death God confined within. The depth of his life-force can be speculated to be commensurable to his chakra.

Willpower/Intent[]

Ketsugo Angry

Ketsugo will of fire is untamed and cannot be put out. Anything that would seem too dampen or tame his willpower will only be met with such intensity that it consumes whatever was trying to manipulate, control, or influence him. His willpower can counteract those of equivalent fortitude as well as is so vast, that it can be transferred through others by his passionate thought-waves that can spread across an entire landscape. Granting others the experience of his endurance, fortitude, and passionate nature to encourage others willpower. His thoughts can become vivid to others, as his emotions can become clear to even non-sensors. As a great willpower can inspire others willpower to press onwards in impossible situations, as well as to obey commands when not possessing equivalent willpower. As a shinobi who has been challenged by countless situations, Ketsugo will enables him to face against legendary shinobi without hesitation. Proven for when he stood up against Okojo Uchiha, a former Hokage. Ketsugo intent is very transparent and descriptive and that when being triggered, his victim could experience a horrible torment that would make them pass out or even with the amount of stress pressed onto someones mental capacity cripple them from moving by shattering the ability to think.

Abilities[]

Sensory[]

The Sage is constantly in a state of awarenesses, with such an intimate relationship with the flow of the world - Ketsugo seems to be in-tune with most life and physical matter. Even without the use of the Kagura Shingan Technique, Ketsugo connection to the physical forces of the world has evolved, to where he can detect mass naturally as if any of his other senses. Through the Kagura Shingan technique Ketsugo is passively perceptive, without conscious effort. The range of Ketsugo perception allows him to locate and track someone/something from across the Land of Fire. Retaining the ability to precisely locate someones chakra; differentiating the chakra of an individual clan whilst deciphering their chakra ratios. Ketsugo deduction skill has been proven enough he's able to sense nature energy, physical energy, and spiritual energy of beings, objects, and from environments. Such refinement of this technique gives the perceptiveness of allowing him to track, sense, and follow the slightest, fastest fluctuations and movement of energy. Able to read if he or someone else is trapped under a genjutsu. The Sage can read underneath the underneath - detecting the accurate energy of even beast, objects, yokai that are sealed. Ketsugos sensory prowess allows him to outline the energy of a person his mind, effectively allowing him to close both eyes against Sharingan and illusionary combatants. As a shinobi he could not forsake honing the basics, therefore the Sage committed to maximizing them to peak condition; relying on those traits to overcome challenges. As a master of sensory in his own right, Ketsugo has been able to archive any and every energy signatures he's come across, with the additional support of memory seals.

KetsuCatch-2

Intelligence[]

Ketsugo intelligence is indisputable as this has been credited to his sheer brilliance and the Multi-Shadow Clone jutsu. The clones benefit Ketsugo throughout his life-time to search, find, gather, study, retain and practice data and information collected. Some knowledge has been accredited to his rune while he factors in the arduous work of himself and the clones. Due to this, Ketsugo has said to be extremely cultivated and educated and that is true. With his knowledge vast within fuinjutsu, this also expands to other jutsu area's. Although not as well-practiced, he's deeply studied and trained in many of the functions. All credit aren't due to his clones but his natural aptitude of processing information, analyzing to come out with the best solution possible. With a investigatory mind-set, Ketsugo has been able to draw upon conclusions and cast judgement quickly. The man had been able to devise multiple plans against large groups of shinobi and manage to effectively take them out with a singular fuinjutsu. With his studies deeply involvement in technology, science, and math has made him equal in knowledge with experts within each individual field.

Hand Signs[]

Hands seals are no problem for Ketsugo, having no trouble memorizing the movements that resulted in swift fluidity. When using hands seals, the speed at which they maneuver challenges the prowess of remarkable perceptible dojutsu. Ketsugo has adapted many of the many hand postures, substituting them for the mudra hand seals.

Speed[]

Training within Isles of the Elephants, Ketsugo underwent serious trails to increase speed by going training within unbearable atmospheric pressures. These pressures being that of pressured air, pressured water where the force of gravity was heavier than earthly elevations. By running across, fighting within various areas, the sage body advanced in mobility and dexterity. With the process of underwater swimming with trunks attempting to strike him refined his reactionary ability to evade and counter-strike. Through those obstacles Ketsugo has achieved great speed to where he's able to disorientate opponents perception when attempting to search for the red-headed man. These movements naturally are comparable to a master of the body flicker technique. Through a whiff of his opponent's actions, Ketsugo can counterattack with agility by outmaneuvering his enemies. As a surprisingly adept mobile fighter, he's attained light ninja feet where his footsteps become absolutely silent. Using the skill and ability within his possession to maneuver about virtually undetected, and the controlling of his equilibrium made him more honed as a shinobi. Ketsugo speed becomes overwhelming when using the Advanced Body Flicker Technique and the Artificial Lightning Technique, the combination of both technique ascends his speed to remarkable level, mastering both in honor of his teacher, Heiwa.

Strength[]

Due to the amount of time he's taken to improve fuinjutsu, physical strength took a back seat in comparison to others whose vigor are akin to his own. Zoshima inhabitants generally wouldn't allow someone of Ketsugo physical strength within the region, but because of his skillset, he managed. Through precise, accurate and decisive blows Ketsugo can bring down even refined combatants. The natural physical strength of his however can be increased through the Chakra Enhanced Strength technique, allowing the Uzumaki to combat opponents much stronger than him regularly in close-combat.

Durability[]

Ketsugo's physical is one of the Uzumaki and the Senju, the inheritor of respectable endurance and durability. As a sage, Ketsugo has undergone ruthless combat and arduous training with the Elephants of Zoshima. Having withstood the blows from the region elephants during engagements, survive under water for extended periods of time, and experience varying temperatures from the altering temperatures of water and its heat which has warranted him a form of resistance to temperatures. Against the invader Uragoe Ketsugo managed to suffer great concussive damage, the overwhelming foe blast had torn apart the Uzumaki flesh and managed to riddle him with bruises and aches. Yet the Uzumaki Lord was still able to move directly after and recover naturally through his healing prowess. There has been instances where Ketsugo has caused himself self-harm in order to learn a new technique, enduring agony now and then to create something, whether it be a Fūinjutsu or Juinjutsu or Sorcery technique. Ketsugo body is a complicated sealing matrix, said array possessing thousands of formulas to protect himself. Each section of his is protected by the sealing matrix, within the array being thousands of curse seals incorporated upon both blood and bone. Preventing anything, even blood from giving away information with a reactive, eradication curse.

Stamina[]

Recovery[]

Ketsugo life-force and vitality is brimming because of his Uzumaki heritage, possessing a strong soul granting superior recuperative powers. With abnormal healing ability, his body with rapidity regenerates and recreates damaged tissues, organs, and nerves. His vitality and life-force are so vast, through transferring his chakra to people, he can heal them with the exact effects of his clansmen who uses heal bite, although he's not required too be bitten for these results. The downside of this similar to being bitten, is that it drains him an adequate amount of chakra. Ketsugo benefits from his immensely strong and highly efficient immune system, which renders him resistant to most natural diseases and infections. This is because his life-force is so great, his recuperative skill is like few in history with a healing factor, as his life-force and physical energy accelerate his bodily process. As a result, his body naturally produces above-average white blood cells; they deal with expunging toxins from his body. With his body producing antibodies and target b cells to form within moments of infiltration keeping him secure which is only surpassed by his regenerative powers. Should Ketsugo have his limbs chopped off, through the use of natural regeneration and the Self-Healing Ink technique he can create new ones. While his healing prowess is remarkable, without Ketsugo sharing his chakra and managing its output those who attempt to absorb the cells within their body may not be able to handle the undeniably potent yang energy which could cripple even a behemoth.

Jutsu[]

0ec84712e0ffc2aa37b026b5dd5b6767-2


Taijutsu[]

Ketsugo could not shy away from close-quarters, Aisa Hyuga, his mother trained him in the art of gentle fist. Seemingly becoming efficient in this art of combat, learning various of the clan's secret techniques. Ketsugo adapted the fundamental of the art into Kanshō (Lit: Interference Style). A particular jutsu technique mimicking that of the Hyuga Clan which revolves around disturbing the chakra flow of the opponent and ultimately rendering them immobile. Without the need for a hand seal, Ketsugo conjures a fuin on his palm or fingertips which houses a concentrated form of chakra. The seal it trusted onto someone via physical touch, as the seal is inserted, the concentrated chakra causes internal damage alike the gentle fist, although when the seal is established inside of a target. The fuin acts as a lock, storing the chakra inside a concentrated point inside of the victim disturbing the chakra pathway system by clogging it. If a victim attempts to use chakra where the seal is applied, the chakra will seek to find room to maneuver tearing apart or blowing holes through the limb of the victim. Ketsugo manages to incorporate this offensive-fighting style with a plethora of other fuinjutsu that can render taijutsu masters useless. The red-haired man manages to often disconnect individuals from using chakra, therefore rendering that ability null throughout battle. Through being touched or touching another, Ketsugo applies fuins that ultimately paralyze and strangle his victims or disconnecting them using the Contract Seal either it be from a summoning, nature energy, or other sources of energy. A defensive fighting-style Ketsugo uses, named Ihan (Lit: Breach Feet) centers around countering the enemy's attacks. As such requiring combat experience with a great level of finesse, dexterity, and fluidity of movement. Heavily relying on fast footwork as well as incredible agility and combat perception in order to focus on fending off opposing attacks and instantly counterattacking. Ketsugo has honed his counterattacks masterfully, abilities that aim to predict movement, intercept and strike effortlessly in tandem with his sensory capability.

Ninjutsu[]

As his predecessors Ketsugo has been able to perform formidable techniques with unblemished execution, even with consectuive ninjta techniques that can used together simultaneously. In any case a technique rankings, Ketsugo exhibits irrefutable aptitude for the application. During his time as Uzumaki Lord, Ketsugo spent much time honing this craft in battlefields of his own creation or on the Isle of the Elephants. With the ability to access all of the five basic elemental chakra natures, Ketsugo has become adept in the scene of a battle against any shinobi as he's become masterful with each during his period of active duty Hokage. Despite his natural elemental affinity, Ketsugo was a practitioner of Yin and Yang Release since he became a shinobi. Ketsugo was trained by his father and fellow uzumaki masters to hone his spiritual energy, to couple with his inherently powerful physical energy.

During the age of becoming a summoner, Ketsugo became proficient with using both Yin and Yang to ultimately combine the two energies and form Yin-Yang Release and use it for the creation of his ink and phletoral of other ninja techniques. Through the process of understanding that the combination of physical and spiritual energy is the fundamentals of the universe, Ketsugo deepened his mastery over those rules. As he sees Yin and Yang as direct relation to absolute forces, as Yang role in the universe is the creation of life and represents most physical energy. Yin role in the universe is form which allows consistency throughout the universe, without it there can no shape or meaning behind existence. As life itself cannot be maintained without consistency and vice versa; as each must coexist even when the ratio of either is minute. Form and shape can be described in a multiple amount of view points, such as being the direction in which a flow of energy - the flow of life - the flow of the world - follows and must be kept to; otherwise it will be torn apart and be rendered null and void. All of life follows a flow and all things in the universe posesses a shape in which becomes possible. Life must follow form, that is the way it has always been. And when the form changes, so too does life; as Ketsugo see it to be the way of the universe. Ketsugo can create, control and manipulate through the fundamental forces, although he does have limitations. Ketsugo is easily able to transfer his chakra to another, able to mold the transferred chakra to adapt it to another person's specific chakra flow and once the chakra is transferred, he is able to manipulate that chakra remotely. Using ink as a medium he's able to viciously sap away from the chakra of others rapidly with an aggressive hunger. As Hokage, Ketsugo has taken the time to gather knowledge of all techniques within the village history catalog and memorizing each one with the help of a mental seal, with the skill to use many of the Hiden techniques.

Vajra Chain Mastery[]

A special ability that is usable by some Uzumaki is the ability to weaponize their chakra, Ketsugo Uzumaki, also possess this ability make his chakra extremely durable. That which can be formed into chains, which are used which are used for various purposes such as directly combating and physically restraining his targets — foes even as powerful as a tailed beast. These chains can be used to bind the chakra of targets, completely neutralizing them. Using the chakra chains, Ketsugo could erect a strong barrier preventing anyone or anything from entering or leaving the perimeter defined by the chains. These chains can also act as a medium for a multi-faceted seal, completely strong enough to subdue the nine-tailed fox and other creatures alike. Ketsugo developed this capability, able to harness his chakra flow and shape transformation to create ninja tools, that can too act as a seal replicating the binding force as the chakra chains. With weaponized chakra Ketsugo can also be used offensively, delivering strikes with chakra chains that deliver mammoth force, creating shock waves and concussive blast upon impact, possessing the power to pulverize summonings and large constructs within its path.

Yang Mastery[]

Ketsugo Yang Energy is very powerful and something he considers to be one of the most powerful element. Ketsugo point of view is that it's one of the absolute forces in the universe. Yang role in the universe is the creation of life into form and represents all physical energy. Ketsugo mastery over Yang Release carries the ability to manipulate life itself on a molecular and cellular level. Life is a characteristic that distinguishes physical entities either its animate or inanimate functions. Ketsugo also has the ability to breath life into form, as he can virtually create many conditions as a result. He's able to manipulate others life energy and that of the earth, and restore it or empower others by manipulating the yang energy. Aside from healing, restoring, and breathing life-into things or people. Ketsugo can also use the Yang Release offensively, as he's able to use the ability to manipulate physical energy into reinforcement, enhancements, as well as drainage and weakening. Ketsugo can also take life away in the same manner that he can give it by controlling physical energy. A method of offensively using it, he can touch a surface, and absorb the physical energy from an environment or person in large volumes. Leaving a once abundant of green into a barren land of dead trees in a matter of seconds. And by touching someone with his hands or via a medium, grasps and forcing someone's physical energy from them immediately turning them into nothing but ash and dust.

Genjutsu[]

The art of illusions has never been something Ketsugo focused on. The path the aristocrat has taken was elsewhere, but there was never an absence of talent in this area. A lack of commitment and testament has led the man to be more exposed than he would like. As a master of the Yin element, there was other usages of the style. Illusionary and mind-controlling practices were more taken into account as his time as Hokage, learning techniques from the village clans. Becoming knowledgeable about the topic, Ketsugo is more knowing of how the human body and its systems can be affected by it, as well as identifying if he’s placed in one. Studying this topic more has inspired its usage and has increased the Uzumaki proficiency. Sharpening and honing this area to create a sub-branch referred to as ‘Mind Caging’ – a combination of Genjutsu and Fuinjutsu which is largely unexplored.

Ketsugo

Bukijutsu[]

The use of weapons is a craft built for those who are willing to confiscate the life out of any being. A weapon which is forged through the sharpness and ability of a forger, or a tool which is used to defend those who can not protect themselves. Even shields could be used defensively, handling its fair share against the iron and steel of pointy edges which seeks to pierce through its enemies. A variety of weapons, Ketsugo has familiarized himself with and has the capacity to hold his own against elite-shinobi. Using self-crafted weapons of his own, to snatch the light away from those who are his enemies. Though not a legendary bukijutsu user, Ketsugo maintains the competency to handle a platoon of shinobi with these skills alongside the collaboration of other techniques and skills.

Sojutsu[]

Upon rediscovering the Chidekakuyari two decades ago, Ketsugo spent a substantial amount of time using the weapon in combat. Training by himself or against multiple opponents, or even weapon combatants much more qualified than himself. Through the years, Ketsugo has become able to wield the Chidekakuyari effectively for a prolonged period of time. The weapon itself was forged long before his discovery but refined it with his own chakra to change it's properties. As only he himself can weild such a thing, due to a bondage seal between himself and the weapon. Allowing him to freely toss, push, pull and manipulate the object akin to telekinesis. Despite the seal, Ketsugo can weild the Chidekakuyari and other spears/staffs with familiarity.

Fūinjutsu[]

Sero-order

From a young age, Ketsugo was predestined to become an Fuin user with unparalleled skill. With the Shibito Rūnsutōn applied there was less room for question but countless results. This however did not keep Ketsugo away from arduous work, task, research and studying he done. Ketsugo studied Uzumaki textual works and documented information, as well as expanded on gathering information that had not fully been uncovered by them. Through the use of using clones, it enabled him to save much time finding, storing, and sharpening the skills the knowledge brought him. Studying across various locations across the continents, Ketsugo stored archaic information within his memory. With a library within his mind carrying centuries of information, Ketsugo knowledge on mythology/mysticism are vast and incomprehensible. During his twenties, Ketsugo left the Land of Fire with clones scattered across the world to accumulate much more information on different cultures; including the languages, sciences, mathematics, music, and lores. With esoteric knowledge and a great mind, Ketsugo was able to combine all this information and understand it as one delicate universal language. Seals can be created and be very powerful, however, they can also be undone and neutralized. To circumvent this, Ketsugo took into account all of this to make a seal design that is virtually impenetrable causing him to receive Ketsugo The Encrypted Seal. Practices that helped were used are knitting, tailoring, stitch-work, intricate embroidery, blacksmithing, and using bukijutsu to her with swiftness, speed, dexterity, precision, coordination and ambidextrous maneuvering.

ZADDY KETSUGO

For years Ketsugo studied and analyzed seals arduously day in and day out. It became so regular for him that on a whim he could glance at a seal and perceive its abilities and commands despite having an archaic complex algorithm. Ketsugo can apply chakra in his eye that adds a bit of depth to see seals hidden beneath the surface of things or within someone. Such clarity in vision has given the man insight on genjutsu when it has been cast by being able to see the chakra. All of Ketsugo's seals are made out of Yin-Yang, and the generation of his ink is not excluded from this process. Each seal applied to a person would automatically begin to intertwine itself onto a individuals chakra network, making removing this seal nigh impossible. Ketsugo fuinjutsu is incomprehensible to almost every single soul in the world, as the complexity of his seal and because of his linguistic control and manipulation he has; thus crafting the very meaning and definitions of the language communications involved into the engineered design. The power of his seal is so strong that it seemingly becomes one with the victim or surface, as each seal would exist seemingly forever even after his death. Ketsugo has become known as the Red Sorcerer, due to his Fuin arts able to seemingly accomplish anything, such majutsu. There has never been a limitation to which he's able to do with sealing or cursing one's fate.

The Battle of Skinkyo Bridge[]

Thunderous roars were descending from the heavens over the entirety of the Land of Rivers, its reverberation amplifying the agony of those fallen over the last seventy-two hours. For three days-straight surfaces were painted with blood, poetically decorating the buildings within the city of Otoshi, a city located within Tanigakure. Fresh blood leaking into the rivers, tainting the waters that was necessary for the citizens throughout the countryside. The Skinyo Bridge being an important location for those supplied by it, as well as those who were trading weapons through its route. Near Takumi No Sato made this location prime to be targeted, and many of those home within Tanigakure were usually stationed here. However, during a summer weekend an enormous hurricane riddled the land with torrential downpour causing the location defenses to waver tremendously. Usually stationed around the Shinkyo Bridge are around 40 shinobi at all times but as a result of such a torrential downpour and threatening winds, the unit number was reduced to an 8-man unit. Two squads, one lead by Ryuga Uzumaki and the other lead by Madoka Asauchi.

At the middle of the night, streaks of lightning were descending alongside the droplets of rain. Sheltered underneath the bridge and surrounding bridges, the members maintained a location where view was possible but damn near improbable. Vision obscured by heavy rain, scattered by dangerous winds which brought down powerlines and trees, flipping over some stationary boats alongside into the river. Tremendous noise from multiple fronts focusing on things in the area troublesome, with the occasion of leaving a post to save someone from nearby debris. Ketsugo stepped out from underneath the bridge with speed to land on top of the raging waters, chakra chains intercepting the falling trees. Four chains were suspended to hold four trees, the moment they were grasped lightning had struck behind the red-haired Uzumaki.

A bright and flashing light illuminating intensely, its reflection bouncing off the water. Deafening claps of thunder shrouding the movement of countless shinobi and their movements, at the opportune time striking amidst the natural disaster. With the light retreating back from the reflective surface, Ketsugo eyes were open with astonishment upon realizing blood was streaming downside both his shoulders and gut. Flesh had been torn open and ripped apart as a vitalized passed directly through him like a knife against butter. Sharp were his eyes amongst himself realizing what happened, as a result the trees were tossed outwards into the foliage. His own howl suppressed by natures intervention as the pain began to fade away as his flesh begins to repair itself from the tear. Senses alerted and now alerting the others, two were dead the moment the enemies surprised attack.

Takumi No Sato shinobi were hiding within the environment, a total of one-hundred and seventy-five shinobi. A staggering number which Ketsugo picked up via sensory, alerting the remaining shinobi via a communication seal. Standing upon the middle of the bride now, Ketsugo was surrounded by fifty-shinobi who were supplied with ninja tools and shinobi-ware. With the boiling anger of the death of his fellow shinobi, he was fast-acting springing forth with a chakra chain for the number of enemies and struck them down with a single hit each. Rendering them incapable of fighting as they were bounded and restricted of any movement. A body flicker was used allowing his father to relocate with him and the other members. It seemed the number of one-hundred and twenty-five were impossible, at least for most but not the two Uzumaki manning the front. They saw it as a warm-up, however the target proved to not be the Tanigakure shinobi themselves but the bridge. Countless trees were cut down in the surrounding area, these towering trees landing on the side of the river, paths, and descending towards the bride itself.

With the bride gone so too would this important route of trade – risking the livelihood and the weapons that would cross this area. To protect this area, Ketsugo was ordered by his father to maintain a barrier around this location no matter what. Without the Shinkyo Bridge the enemy would have a better advantage in the civil war and those within the village would be massacred. Reluctant to follow this order, Ryuga had no other option but to place his sun under a genjutsu. This genjutsu forced Ketsugo to follow his father’s orders and subsequently performed the adamantine chakra chains barrier. Those who were inside of the range of the barrier with the shinobi, were dispatched with additional chains by Ryuga.

While the outside was being continually bombarded with high-grade ninjutsu and ninja and scientific ninja tools. Ryuga exited the barrier alongside the other shinobi who had to encounter the remaining forces, and they stood atop of the barrier awaiting the incoming shinobi. Rushing in were the Takumi Shinobi, who challenged Tanigakures elite shinobi and soon found their way. At the cost of the few lives, they had too taken many. Standing alone, bloodied by the shower of Takumi’s blood Ryuga stood hunched over breathing heavily. With only ten shinobi left he was exhausted although smiling, like his son he too was overbearing with confidence. Although this was short-lived as reinforcements came on behalf of the invaders, loading in by the hundreds. Morodomi Saga, a powerful and respected military leader within Takumi arrived to the battlefield. His reputation being equivalent to Ryuga himself, approached the top of the dome. His arrival visibly shaking the Uzumaki elder, pondering where were the reinforcement! Inquiring on how desperate Takumi was to attack during the middle of a storm, Morodomi gave no verbal reply but responded with haste by appearing before Ryuga grasping his throat. In a single instance crushing the elder ability from speaking, followed by a heart wrenching knee to the gut causing the Uzumaki to face plant on top of the dome. With a nimble flicker of his fingers and wrist, Ketsugo’s genjutsu was undone. Seeing the barrier surface riddled with blood it was hard to see atop where his father laid planted. A smile was sent his way from the fleeting Uzumaki, and by the time Morodomi was going to send a thunderous kick downwards was intercepted by another. Asai Hyuga, whose gentle-fist had pushed back Morodomi.

In the backdrop were hundreds of other shinobi that engaged with Takumi’s reinforcements. Ordered to maintain the barrier, Ketsugo had done so regrettably for the duration of the battle. Hundreds of lives were lost on both sides all at the cost of preserving a bridge – which without it Tanigakure would have lost its future battles without. For decades it has proven invaluable, so much so Ryuga Uzumaki – rose up again during the battle to finish Morodomi. At the time the strongest shinobi on the battlefield with Ryuga weakened, subsequently taking his own life via the Dead Demon Consuming Seal which successfully won the battle. With Morodomi gone Takumi lost its edge in the fight forcing its shinobi to retreat for another day. A younger, powerless Ketsugo couldn’t do anything but preserve a location… A day he will never forget as it had once haunted him for decades.

The Rosy Whirlpool Chronicle[]

Once a feared and revered clan, the Uzumaki had become an afterthought. As the result of the clan’s destruction, it took decades for the clan to gain its footing. Many of the tomatoed hair members were scattered throughout the shinobi continents but during the tenure of Naruto Uzumaki the clan regained some of its faith. Leaders who had abandoned their nation to survive reunited, forming into families which later became categorized as branches. Initially returning to the Land of Whirlpools proved difficult according to Ryuga Uzumaki, Ketsugo’s father.

Eventually when the clan settled, they were ruled by various family leaders causing multiple disputes. A result of this allowed many potential members to return years after and some never after out of fear of another attack from nations. This was a part of the lesson Ketsugo was told growing up. As a member of the Uzumaki, he was raised in the Land of Whirlpools, Land of Fire, and Land of Rivers. In each of these nations Uzumaki lived, following the rule of their leaders and not an undisputed clan lord. This could not be ignored because the clan was divided – therefore if anyone wanted to destroy them once more, resistance would fail again.

During his life-span within the Land of Rivers, Ketsugo combined all of the families under one household, effectively becoming its leader after single-handedly bringing down each noble fighter. This too caried on when visiting the Land of Whirlpool, witnessing the clan struggle with leadership and running the government. Understanding this he conversed with the aristocrats about separating the Sato-Osa from the Uzumaki Clan Lord. Revealing a single clan should not rule a nation, and a clan should be ruled by a powerful shinobi. Uproar was anticipated and much resisted however, after further discourse and display of power there was none that could oppose at the time, as Kawazu Uzumaki passed from an illness. Kawazu Uzumaki, an individual known to rekindle Uzushiogakur greatly. With none to contest a vote was casted and Ketsugo became the unanimous leader of the clan within Land of Rivers and Land of Whirlpool.

Years began passing and the foundation of the clan was solid. By the time Ketsugo moved to the Land of Fire, there was no leader of the clan and without any opposition or challenge he had assumed the role, across the shinobi world word spread far and wide. An aristocrat with the power and political skill to garner the respect and loyalty from the clan members despite being far apart. Each of the clan members answers to Ketsugo orders and to this day there has never been an open resistance to his rule.
