ORIGIN

[PRODIGY] You’re a prodigy! A genius, like Hatake Kakashi or Uchiha Itachi. You could graduate from the academy early, or even might have graduated already!

PERKS

[CHAKRA COILS] The basic ability to use chakra, as represented by “chakra coils” that are a nebulous part of your body and/or soul now. You have top-quality chakra coils which would place you in the top 5% in this world in terms of both capacity and control. After this jump your chakra system and body continue to function just as they do in this world, along with any changes made along the way. You may also, if you choose to, induce the development of chakra coils in other people simply by pushing some of your chakra into them.

[ACADEMY TRAINING] You already have all the basic training necessary to start on your career as a ninja. Your physical stats and resilience are what civilians would call ‘peak human’ and you can mold chakra, use kunai and shuriken, do the academy three jutsu (henge, kawarimi, and bunshin), and have learned a basic taijutsu style. You’ve even studied ahead a little and learned tree climbing, chakra-boosted jumping, and several D-rank techniques.

[ELEMENTAL AFFINITY - WATER + WIND] Not much to see here. You have an extremely strong elemental affinity in one of the five primary elements of this world, those being Fire, Wind, Water, Earth and Lightning. The first purchase of this perk is free, second and onwards cost 100 CP though you must purchase a different primary element each time.

[SPECIALIST - FUINJUTSU + TAIJUTSU] Pick one aspect of the ninja arts. You are now awesome at it. Taijutsu specialists are the second coming of Maito Gai, genjutsu specialists make Kurenai weep in envy, ninjutsu specialists can do one-handed seals faster than Kakashi and so on. You may start out either with all the relevant knowledge already mastered or simply with the potential to be such and rapidly master the field as fast as you can search out the relevant tutelage “in play”, your choice. If the example specialties given above are not to your taste you can specialize in something else as long as it’s something actually on offer in Naruto, such as fuinjutsu or kenjutsu or medic-nin or torture & interrogation. You may purchase this perk more than once to gain knowledge of multiple specialties.

[KEKKEI-GENKAI] Ah, some of the best stuff in Naruto. You have a Kekkei-Genkai, a Bloodline Limit of your own, which lets you do things few others can ever match! You receive 1000 BP (Bloodline Points) to spend in the Kekkei-Genkai section. In addition, this purchase gives you control over your bloodlines, specifically the part about it passing on to others. You can pick and choose if you want your children to inherit your bloodline(s), to exact and intricate details. Finally, should you so wish, your bloodline, not to mention any and all other powers and abilities you may have that can pass on thus, will always, always breed true, no matter how many generations pass or how much the blood is diluted. You can also choose to pass on a weaker copy of this perk to your children, and they to theirs. This Perk may only be bought once

[MASKED] A proper ninja does not reveal themselves until it’s too late for the enemy to do anything about it. Not their true power, and certainly not whatever they’re feeling. You are now a master role-player and infiltrator, capable of putting on a flawless act that could fool anyone short of the most discerning and perceptive people alive, and often even them. You’ll never even hint at possessing any ability or knowledge you couldn’t reasonably be expected to have. Neither will you ever express a visible emotion that you don’t want to. And unlike many long-term infiltrators you will never ‘lose yourself’ in a role or emotionally confuse a cover identity for the real you. You could easily spend your entire life since infancy pretending to be the village idiot while actually having the power and knowledge to beat up a Kage, and leave everybody none the wiser. In addition, you have exceptional talent at both henge and mundane disguises.

[NERVES OF STEEL] While it may not seem like it looking at canon and indeed, several fanfics, the fact remains that Ninjas can need to do some very bad things every so often. As such, being waffling or weak in any way doesn’t suit you at all. You have the grit and will of a veteran soldier, as well as the ruthlessness and implacability of a true, cold blooded assassin. No matter what happens, no matter what is lost, the mission must go on, and so it will. It doesn’t matter if you’ve lost a limb and have another paralyzed, nor does it matter if you have to wade hip-deep through a pile of human entrails that you just pulled out of their original owners’ bodies with your bare hands. You will have the will to do what needs to be done, and never forget that it really did need to be done afterwards. Finally, your unshakeable nerves mean that you are entirely beyond such things as hesitation and indecisiveness in the face of the enemy. Your reaction time is so instantaneous that it borders on precognition, and you can think as calmly and clearly in the midst of the most chaotic situation imaginable as most people could while sitting in their armchairs.

[UNLIMITER] Your potential knows no bounds. Even with everything that chakra can do, other ninjas eventually reach a limit on how strong or fast or agile they can be, how much chakra they can store or channel, etc. But not you. Never you. You have the capacity for limitless growth inside of you, breaking all of the natural limits on the human body, mind, or soul. With enough training you could eventually grow to equal the gods, and then to surpass them. Furthermore, your potential stands unlimited in another way as well. Normally, gaining a skill or ability changes people. Muscles develop along a certain way, the nature of their chakra changes, and a thousand and one other things. The point is that this tends to reduce the extent to which they can learn other things. With you... that just doesn’t happen. No matter what you learn and what you train in, your ability to master other skills remains completely unaffected. It doesn’t even matter if it’s somehow a requirement for you to toss aside other arts to progress in one, you can ignore that and go right ahead all the same. This applies to any skills you have already acquired as well. Time, atrophy, curses, nothing short of jump-fiat can make you lose an iota of your ability, come hell or high water. Even deliberate attempts to cripple your capacity will always fail short of actual destruction of the relevant body parts. In case the last does happen, you can be assured that while this does nothing to speed it up, you will heal from such damage. Finally, you yourself are also protected from the effects of your arts, such that even the most dangerous techniques or abilities you ever use can only do temporary damage at worst, even if said damage is an intrinsic part of their function.

[SHINOBI] What with all the screaming jutsu names and giant fireballs and kaiju summoning, its like these people have entirely forgotten that ninja are supposed to be stealthy. Well, good thing you’re here to remind them. You are a true Ninja, a true ‘Old School’ shinobi. You have ungodly dexterity, patience and sheer skill at sneaking. You could sneak through a village full of ninja at high alert while wearing bright orange, and your skills at lockpicking, picking pockets, stealing, sneak attacks and the like, trades which demand stealth like this, are just as ridiculous. In addition, you no longer need to cry out any of your jutsu’s names, being able to just execute any and all of your techniques without even muttering a word. You’re also a dab hand at using the more ‘traditional’ ninja methods of dealing with people, such as poison use and various practical assassination techniques that don’t require engulfing your hand in lightning and running in a straight line at someone. Finally, while you do not gain any supernatural abilities related to stealth, you can maintain any abilities you do have in just about any condition, be it drunk, injured, or unconscious.

ITEMS

[NINJA WEAPONS] You have a pouch full of all kinds of general use ninja weapons, like shuriken, kunai, senbon, each of multiple kinds and sizes, up to and including things like fuuma shurikens and the rest. It also has many spools of ninja wire, along with the other slightly niche materials, and everything is of the very highest quality, prime Higurashi product. No matter how many of these you take out, there are always more, and you always pull out exactly what you were meaning to. Strangely no one ever seems to question this, maybe they just think you have a lot of storage scrolls in there? The items you take out eventually disappear after use.

[UNIQUE UNIFORM] While you wouldn’t think so at first thought, clothes are certainly very important for ninja around here, and just as varied. Jumpsuits, trench coats, chains and bandages, even big ropes can be found as part of outfits. Well, you have your own, now! This is your own unique outfit, designed completely to your tastes. And it has certain unique features. First, it protects you perfectly from any and all weather or environment situations. Excessive cold, heat, whatever it may be, you don’t feel a thing... so long as it’s weather. No tanking Jutsu. Secondly, you find that no matter how elaborate or frail it gets, it never, ever interferes with any of your abilities. You can use Doujutsu through shades, Gentle Fist while wearing gloves, so on and so forth, all day long. Finally, you can change what it looks like with nary but a thought, with it becoming anything from field rough-and-tough gear to high quality party stuff, and being spectacular at both functions. Also, it never gets dirty, and any cuts or tears are automatically fixed, though you can choose to have it “appear” dirty or ripped up if you’re going for some sort of disguise.

[ANBU MASK] And a tattoo! You have been inducted into the ANBU forces! The Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai are the most elite forces of any village, the crème de la crème, per se. And the unit you have been inducted into is elite among even them. You have access to the finest training, supplies and help your village can offer, and a security clearance to match. You may, if you wish, be assigned high-level missions. Or you can put yourself on ‘detached duty’ and just go back to being an ordinary ninja. It’s up to you. In future jumps you will have the status, access, and clearance of a high-level operative in whatever intelligence or military special-operations unit exists in your home nation, and they will curiously forget to actually assign you any missions or give you any orders unless you want them to... just as they forget to revoke your clearance.

[WORKSHOP] Going out and beating people up is not all there is to being a ninja, certainly not in the myriad worlds of Naruto fanfiction. There’s a lot of space for less... outdoorsy activities, such as seal-creation, weapons-forging, and so on. That’s where this beautiful place comes in! It’s the ultimate workshop, perfect for just about anything you may care to work at. It has a huge supply of papers and inks for your fuuinjutsu needs, herbs and plants for preparing poisons or medicines, a forge and metal supplies for smithing, timber for woodwork, and so on, for anything else you may care to work on. The quantities of the materials generated depend on their rarity and value. Something like ordinary paper and ink, or plain steel and wood, would never run out no matter how much you use, while things like paper from special, chakra-enriched trees would be in far shorter supply. But no matter how rare something might be, so long as it’s not absolutely unique, you can expect to find it here, and in sufficient quantities to work with. At the absolute slowest, for materials of priceless rarity like high quality chakra-storing gemstones or metals, you could expect a supply to regenerate bi-yearly, and proportionately lesser times for less rare substances. In future worlds this workshop updates with materials and ingredients of the respective settings, with the same replenishment rules remaining in effect.

[SHADOW CLONES] Ah, shadow clone no jutsu. The signature jutsu of the Naruto franchise. And now you can join in on the fun. You have a copy of a technique scroll for the shadow clone jutsu, of such quality that an idiot could teach himself from this thing in virtually no time at all. It even has safeguards built-in that eliminate any possibility of killing yourself by putting too much chakra into it, or getting a headache from too many clones dispelling at once or anything like that. The worst that can possibly happen is that it fails to work. You still can only make as many shadow clones as your chakra can support but outside of that you can feel free to abuse this handy jutsu for training, decoys, diversions, paperwork, chores, or whatever else you can imagine. In the event that this technique is supposed to have some additional features in the particular fanfiction you go to, or even a better version, this scroll will contain both versions.

[STORAGE SEALS] The most efficient way of managing space by far, and you have them on you! Specifically, you have two things. The first is a Storage Scroll, and the second is a network of seals place all over your body in strategic positions. Each of these can store around a thousand cubic feet of stuff, preserved perfectly. The inside of the storage space is up to you to decide, as you can create partitions, reshape it or whatever else you want, with the only stipulation that if you try sending in something alive, it will fail. While you need the scroll itself to access the seals on it, the seals on your body answer to your thoughts, and you can put in or pull out stuff with just a thought. You can designate other people who can use the scroll if you want, but not your body seals. Finally, you also have a collection of detailed instructions to make more of both these types of seals, for yourself or others.

KEKKEI GENKAI

[SENSORY - CHAKRA SENSE] Choose one of your senses, Sight, Smell, Touch, Taste or Hearing. This sense is now boosted by 100%. That is, it’s twice as strong as it was before. Your mind is also upgraded to be able to handle this sensitivity, so it doesn’t overwhelm you. You can buy this option as many times as you want. This can also be used to buy specific effects, such as perfect dark vision, or telescopic or microscopic vision, things like that, if what’s what you’d prefer. For 300 BP, you gain Chakra Sense, which makes you able to sense chakra, as a Sensor-nin. This can also be boosted for 200 BP, every purchase of which doubles the radius you can sense. In addition, you can link every purchase to one of your normal senses if you want, becoming able to see/hear/feel chakra. If you boost the sense you link your chakra sense too, you sense chakra to the full levels of your sense. That means that yes, it’s possible to ‘feel’ chakra from meters away.

[BODY CONTROL - SHIKOTSUMYAKU (DEAD BONE PULSE)] You have extreme control over one part of your body, not in terms of your limbs or so, but rather in terms of your skin, blood, bones or the like. You can grow it, shrink it, shape it in specific ways, the whole nine yards. This control goes a long way, allowing you to do things like shape weapons out of your chosen parts, like bone swords or blood whips or whatever. Also, you’re basically immune to any damage done to whatever you pick, whether through disease or things like impact, being able to generate quantities of the substance that cross the border across great into the frankly ridiculous. For 700 BP, though, a whole new level of ability is revealed, in that you can now control the same thing, except you can do it to others too now. That is, you can control other people’s skins, bones etcetera. This control is nowhere nearly as fine and strong as what you have over yourself, barely half as much, if that.

DRAWBACKS

[VILLAGE PARIAH] What is with these people? For whatever reason, you start out with a bad reputation and are mistreated by almost everyone. Outside of a few selected individuals you can routinely expect people to try and shaft you financially, bureaucratically, socially, and in every other way possible. Being cheated on transactions, having your apartment vandalized or your possessions stolen, academic sabotage, perhaps even outright beatings, all of these are regular occurrences for you. The Kage of your village is always an exception to this rule (it would be impossible for you to continue living in the village if they weren’t), but they’re a very busy person and usually aren’t available to shield you from day-to-day harassment. For another +100 CP you can up the severity to ‘outright homicidal’. At this point they’re out for blood, and it took ANBU intervention or epic luck to let you live this long. While the attempts on your life will have slowed down once you get your hitai-ite (if you haven’t already) there will still always be the occasional fanatic willing to risk trading their life for yours. In addition to the more subtle ways of trying to help you die, such as conveniently ‘forgetting’ to back you up in a tight spot. It is possible to eventually get people off your back, but it will take an amount of patience and hard work directly proportionate to the scale of the enterprise. Getting your new teammates to actually see you as a person might require just surviving a couple missions with them, all the while bearing up under their scorn and being a good example of teamwork, but getting general approval from the populace at large would require something as epic as single-handedly saving the entire village. You cannot escape this Drawback simply by abandoning your home village… well, you can, but all you’ve done at that point is trade out ‘social disgrace’ for ‘being actively pursued by hunter-nin’.

[ROOT OF ALL EVIL] Danzo wants you. Whether he desires your death or to turn you into one of his brainwashed slaves doesn’t matter; what does matter is that an extremely ruthless and powerful S-class ninja with a small army of fanatically devoted killers and vast political and covert influence at all levels of Konoha is out to get you. Since Danzo is a slow and patient schemer you will not start the jump in immediate danger but that won’t last very long, so you’d better git gud fast. If your home village is not Konoha then the forces of your village will help defend you vs. ROOT as much as they’d defend any member of their village against attack by foreign ninja, but this is nowhere near Danzo’s first rodeo and he’s successfully assassinated a lot of foreign ninja in his time so don’t get too cocky. If you are actually a member of Konoha then this Drawback is worth 500 CP, as Danzo is far more able to reach you and also able to use his political influence to screw with you in addition to sending out the capture/kill teams. Remember that while the Hokage disagrees with Danzo’s plans for you he’s also decided that the price that would need to be paid to destroy ROOT is one that the village cannot afford, that being the reason why Danzo has lived this long. So you’re going to have to handle this one mostly on your own. Whether by killing Danzo, finding irrefutable evidence of his guilt in a crime so heinous that no amount of ‘political considerations’ could convince the Hokage to ignore it, or something else, you have to take him down or else endure his repeated attempts to destroy or break you by any means, fair or foul.
