Chapter : Ninjutsu
Name of the technique: Kugutsu no Tachi (Successor Technique)
Type: Ninjutsu
Description:
The user of this technique has the ability to temporarily copy jutsu from other shinobi that they have seen or that have been used in their presence. Upon activating Kugutsu no Tachi, the user performs a special seal and mentally connects with the opponent's chakra, allowing them to access their techniques.
Characteristics:
Limited Duration: The technique allows the user to use the copied ability for a set period, usually a few minutes, depending on the complexity of the jutsu.
Chakra Requirements: The more powerful the jutsu to be copied, the higher the chakra cost for the user. This means that not all techniques can be copied without consequences.
Success Conditions: The user must have seen the jutsu in action at least once. Additionally, they must be able to perform the necessary seals and have adequate chakra control.
Adaptability: The user can modify the copied technique to fit their personal style or to optimize it based on the situation, increasing their versatility in combat.
Example of Use: During a battle against a powerful enemy, the user activates Kugutsu no Tachi after observing their opponent use a powerful fire jutsu. By copying the technique, the user can cast their own version of the fire jutsu, adapted to be faster or more powerful, depending on their own skill and chakra control.

Kugutsu no Tachi (Successor Technique)
Type: Ninjutsu
Classification: High Level Ninjutsu
General Description: Kugutsu no Tachi allows the user to temporarily copy the techniques of other shinobi they have observed. This technique is highly valued for its ability to adapt and learn in combat situations, making the user a versatile warrior who can take advantage of their opponents' abilities.
Detailed Features:
Limited Duration:
Temporary Effect: The technique allows the user to use the copied jutsu for up to 5 minutes. After this time, the user loses the ability to maintain the jutsu and must rest to recover.Progressive Fatigue: As more copied techniques are used in a short period of time, the user will become fatigued more quickly, which can compromise their performance in battle.
Chakra Requirements:
Chakra Cost: The amount of chakra required depends on the complexity of the copied jutsu. Simple techniques may require little chakra, while advanced jutsus can consume almost all of the user's reserve.Risk of Exhaustion: If the user attempts to copy a high-level jutsu without proper preparation, they could become exhausted before the technique is complete.
Success Conditions:
Required Note: The user must have seen the jutsu in action at least once, either in combat or in demonstrations, in order to copy it.Chakra Control: The user must have a level of chakra control that allows them to perform the necessary seals. This means that those with lower chakra control skills may not be able to execute complex techniques.
Adaptability:
Technique Modification: By copying a technique, the user can adjust it to their own combat style. For example, if they copy a fire jutsu, they can modify its form or power, adapting it to their own strategy.Combat Strategies: This allows the user to surprise their opponents by using their own techniques against them, which can create strategic opportunities in battle.History and Origin:
Kugutsu no Tachi is said to have been developed by a shinobi who specialized in quick learning and adaptation in combat. This shinobi, known as Reisuke, was a legendary warrior who stood out in his village for his ability to mimic and improve others' jutsus. Through his journey, Reisuke perfected this technique, becoming a master in the art of adaptation.
The technique was passed down through generations, and is now considered a high-level jutsu that only a select few shinobi can master. Some believe that those who master it are Reisuke's heirs, carrying it as a symbol of his legacy.
Example of Combat Use:
Imagine the user facing a powerful enemy who uses a snake summoning jutsu. After watching the enemy call out the snake and perform the jutsu, the user activates Kugutsu no Tachi. Within seconds, he replicates the technique, summoning his own snake, but adjusted to be faster and more cunning, using it to distract the enemy and create an opening for a surprise attack.
Weaknesses: Observation Dependency: The technique relies on the user having previously observed the jutsu, limiting its ability in completely new situations. Risk of Copying Dangerous Techniques: By copying a jutsu without fully understanding how it works, the user could face negative consequences, such as triggering unwanted side effects.Mental Fatigue: The concentration required to copy and execute complex techniques can cause mental fatigue, which can lead to mistakes at the critical moment of a battle.
