Personality: Normatsu is what one would call a lazy ass. He is a nonchalant man that doesn't believe in taking anything truly serious but, there are a few things that has been known to push him into a serious attitude. A fun man to be around, Normatsu can lighten up an entire room and pretty much makes friends of anyone especially those that don't see eye to eye with his way of thinking. A genius at heart, he will get the job down when needed.
Village: Konoha
Chakra Nature: Life Force can act as all the elements so, technically Normatsu is well versed in all the elements.
Kekkei Genkai:
Life Force Chakra - Life Force is chakra that is born from the planet and lives within humans, animals and even such things as plants. It is basically a much more powerful form of pure chakra that can allow a user to use any chakra nature based from the elements that exist within the planet. It takes special meditation and a blood seal to activate one’s life force chakra but, those who were born with foreign chakra cannot make use of it nor it’s counterpart, Death Chakra. Also this chakra cannot be absorbed for it will violently reject another’s body, acting to flush the body of it’s chakra supply.
There a multitude of ways that Life Force chakra can be used and manipulated though even the most amateur users are linked to it mentally and through sheer willpower. Those who have trained can use it with a fine tuned control whilst able to create a variety of effect. Such are able to grasp the life force from the planet as their weapon. It has been stated on occasion that a forest is the worst place to fight a user of Life Force Chakra. Lastly Life Force permeates through the world which acts as a spider web for the user, allowing him to feel the vibrations that one makes when near.
Death Chakra - This is known as a corruption of Life Force but, technically it’s chakra that permeates from death. The nature of the chakra only takes a color of black when unleashed by a life force user as they are the only ones who can take control and spawn it. Death chakra is highly corrosive when in contact with other forms of chakra. It destabilizes chakra then breaks it into nothing, literally eating it and creating more of itself. People are susceptible to this effect as well, causing their chakra to be eaten while inducing effects such as the nervous system breaking down, muscles deterioration at an accelerated rate or the loss of senses permanently or temporarily.
Like spiritual chakra, there is no true defense against it as the eating effect pertains to all chakra except Life Force chakra while the body can’t be trained to resist the effects. A skilled user can produce concussive, and searing jutsu.
Kekkei Genkai Jutsu:
Planetary Flare - Life Force is formulated underneath his opponent with no sign that it’s even there. The Life Force begins to raise from the ground in the form of an orb. The chakra simulates the effects of gravity, pulling the enemy into the orb as it raises from the ground. The orb itself pulsates waves of concussive forces, battering whatever is in it’s field until it has raised into the air. A torrent of flame based Life Force shots forth, burning the whoever is within while the concussive force comes from the ground and the orb, smashing and/or crushing the unfortunate soul within.
Dire Grip - Using death chakra as the makeup of this jutsu, long whips made of the chakra forms from Normatsu’s wrists. He will then throw the whips forward, wrapping them around both arms of his target. Death chakra begins sear the skin while invoking the effect of eating the enemie’s chakra and entering through the wound, applying the effect of muscle deterioration in the arms. They are held in place as life force chakra is stemmed on top of the whip, simulating electrical currents that shock and run through the spinal column, invoking a temporary paralysis and constant shock damage. This jutsu allows for Normatsu to finish off with something big as it’s meant to lock down the opponent.
Swarm Blade - Life Force chakra surges around Normatsu’s hand before he flicks his wrist. A large wave of life force roars forth from around Normatsu at a alarming speed. The impact of the shockwave forces a ddep laceration, injecting a trace amount of death chakra that eats into the enemies chakra. The wave breaks apart into six remaining waves that lock and swarm without falter. Each one lacerates the skin while injecting the death chakra. The target’s chakra is continously eaten, senses dulled heavily by the death chakra and leaving for something more dangerous.
Restoration of Life - Normatsu can stimulate the life force within others to increase the body’s natural healing ability and even forming new cells at an accelerated rate. The cells can also fight off poisons and the like aswell. He can also do this within himself but, it does not stem the stamina loss of using it. The opposite can implied, stopping someone’s healing and causing wounds to open more and/or become worse.
Jutsu:
Frozen Flame Release: Dousing Flame - Mini frozen flame shaped fireballs are sent flying forth in a huge barrage. What seems like a simple technique becomes deadly quickly. The fireballs hit with the force of a small pressurized wind but, within seconds they converge upon their target/s. The target is engulfed within the blue frozen flame, literally freezing them and the surrounding area in a chunk of so cold that blood flow is slows down almost instantly while inciting mass frostbite and nerves are also frozen. That’s not all, a second effect is in play upon impact, as the pressure of the flame can break bones.
Jinseihatsu (Life Explosion) - A jutsu created through the manipulation of pure chakra and pulling it between cupped hands, but it is possible to use it with one hand, but that causes some unstability in the jutsu. It rapidly takes form between the cupped hands, wind swirling around the user's body as the sphere is formed in his hands. This sphere is formed from an immense amount of compacted chakra making it dense and destructive. Then extending the hands forward, the sphere is shot forward. In appearance the sphere looks like a blue fireball, but it has no properties of fire. Moving at a quick speed, it strikes with destructive concussive force causing even those on guard to get damaged. Normatsu can use his feet to launch the jutsu but, it’s power is nothing compared to his hands. When using his hands, he can fully use it’s power unbound.
Eraijinseihatsu (Terrible Life Explosion) -Done through the manipulation of chakra and such like the Jinseihatsu except for the fact that instead of pulling the chakra into the hands, it is focused all into the mouth. The chakra is not compacted in this aspect but instead allowed to expand until the user's mouth is full of chakra. When ready the user will expel the chakra from his mouth as if he was yelling. The chakra is condensed into a wide beam of chakra with two chakra beams spiraling around the main beam. When struck by said beam, the enemy is hit with tremendous force and because the beam is larger then expected, the enemy's whole body will be within the beam's target area. Very destructive along with the fact that those even on guard will get hurt by blasting damage from the beam.
Lightning Fist - By channeling chakra into his hand, Normatsu manipulates it causing lightning chakra to spark erratically around his arm from his palm and the lightning chakra to pulse up, forming one large chakra wing from his back with a second smaller one underneath it. The wings can be used to allow Normatsu a form of gliding. If it was cut through, the chakra would simply reform the wings. The lightning chakra makes Normatsu's arm and hand a weapon. Normatsu can use it for taijutsu, giving his opponent a nice jolt when attacking, he can grab them, causing the lightning chakra to shock them, or block attacks sending jolts through the attacker. He can fire the lightning chakra off in blasts or arcs toward his opponent. He can also make the lightning chakra extend forward, creating a lightning blade which can cut much better then a normal katana
Forbidden Jutsu
Sage of Life - A sage mode created by Normatsu after learning about natural energy. First and foremost Normatsu had to learn how to gather the sage chakra by using life force chakra as a conduit draw in the natural energy like a lightning rod. It’s almost isntant and when Normatsu activates his Sage Mode, his chakratic forces flow outward and manifest around him as a thin field like aura of green that moves in rivulets. The muscles in his body are stronger, so while in this form his facial features harden and his expression comes off as a lot more intimidating than before. This look is increased by the slits that form in Normatsu's eyes and the bright red and maroon ring that circles around both eyes giving them an intense appearance.
Growth in this state makes Normatsu's nails grow up to three times their normal length and a deep maroom tribal rune also pulses from around his collar bone, done his back and across the upper portion of Normatus's chest. There is a kanji that reads "life" on both his chin and on the bride of his nose in the same red coloring of the runes.
In Sage Mode, his physical, ninjutsu, and taijutsu are adsurdly increased by the rush of chakra while he can form and mold larger amounts of chakra efficiently faster and better. Whilst in Sage Mode, Normatsu can feel the life force within others over a long range, which let’s him act as a powerful sensor. Lastly Normatsu can simulate the pressure of gravity within a 10ft radius around him, creating crushing forces or implosions. These forces can also act to contain jutsu within the simulated field, slow down objects upon entrance or, buffer his being like a barrier. The gravitonic effect is not limited to just around him but can effect his own jutsu, increasing the already devastating strength of Sage Mode.
Sage Jutsu: Skyward Ignition - Using the power of Sage Mode, Normatsu can connect himself to Life Force chakra moving throughout the clouds. Manipulating the chakra, he causes it to spread outward like a blanket. The chakra then takes multiple, large spherical shapes with Death chakra infused within. Within a moment’s notice, the sphere come hurling toward the earth like meteors striking. On impact, the meteor-like spheres cause massive explodes with mass concussive force and sheer blades of chakra cutting and ripping through any object within the way. The death chakra instills that the chakra’s touch also collapses one’s senses, though it only lasts for an hour at the least.
Ultima Cannon - Elbows touch the waist as the arms are pointed outward while chakra is gathered from himself or life force from the area surrounding him. As chakra is formed infront of Normatsu, it pulsates like a heartbeat whilst glowing a bright red color. The formation of the chakra makes though there is a smaller sphere within the chakra that has been created before Normatsu. One hand is pressed upon the chakra, starting the attack as a beam shots forth from the sphere in the middle. As it moves at speeds that many consider wrap speed, it grows larger and larger from chakra further absorbed on movement and/or Normatsu forcing more into the attack. The attack can tear apart most substances, leaving only destruction in awake as it eradicates the physical with extreme force. This technique proves to be his greatest to date and completely exhausts him aftwerwards.
Weapon/s:
Tsurugi-Ken: First-Sword(Aka: First Tsurugi) - The First Tsurugi is a rather unique blade, as it is six different blades all pieced together much like a puzzle. When fitted together, these six blades form an enormous sword that is over five and a half feet in length, and about two and a half feet wide. It is also held together pretty though through a mechanized locking system that also acts as a spring loaded shotgun: You cock the ammunition(the different blades) into place, and then cock them again (once chambered) to release them from its hold. Each sword has a unique place on each other that allows them to fit together, Vigilante being the base form of the sword, Vendetta the secondary piece to be put on( on the bottom to form the blade of First Tsurugi), Merciless and Avenger fit together on the top to form the blunt edge of the sword, and then Ascalon and Sidewinger fitting on either side of the final product (both hilts being wound back until they touch their own blunt tops).
First Tsurugi is capable of using all six swords' abilities while also being able to use each ability simultaneously to create new effects on the fly.. It also gains two ability releases known as "Ultima Breaker" and “Virtue Eclipse”.

Vigilante - Vigilante is the base form of the final weapon known as "First Tsurugi". It has two forms, one used to fit the other blades on (not used for combat in this form), and the second which is opened up(see picture) that is used for the heat of the battle. Vigilante is a sturdy weapon that is more durable than most metal weapons. It has the ability to absorb chakra when it is gripped; when chakra is emitted through the blade's material, it sparks a reaction that causes enough static electricity to surge through the blade, allowing it to cut through rock, and even other, non-elemental weapons.
If enough chakra is emitted through it, the user can simply swing the blade forward, and touch the ground(or the surface the blade touches after swinging) or just a simple swing through the air, causing a large crecent shaped surge to shoot out. It deals heavy concussional damage as well as a high amount of voltage that could potentially paralyze the target. The stream of energy will also branch out if it is obstructed by anything caught up in its way, meaning if it is stopped by any kind of jutsu, or any other kind of attack/defence that is capable of doing so, it will mildly shock anyone in its range of disbursal, damaging them mildly.

Vendetta - Vendetta is the second most used weapon in the entire collection, mainly due to the fact that since its job is to be the blade of the First Tsurugi, it's more durable and more resiliant to most attacks and defenses. Vendetta, its self, is a very unique piece (as are all the blades that are in the set) of Tsurugi. Its material is made up of a highly resiliant metal that-just like Vigilante- has chakra absorbing properties. Once chakra is channeled through the blade, it triggers a reaction that causes it to heat up. However, unlike Vigilante, it does not have any other special attack or ability besides the blade heating up. It would be wise to know that it would be able to melt through most weapons and even metals, and possibly burn the person at the other end of the blade.

Merciless and Avenger - These two blades are both exactly alike, and each no more than four feet in length. They, too, are made of the same resiliance of the other weapons, meaning they are very tough. They also take on the same chakra absorbing material; when chakra is channeled through it, it causes a reaction that cools the blades down, almost like ice. A strange fog rolls off of them when chakra is channeled through them. When the blades are swung, they create a certain frost effect that freezes the air coming off the blade as they are being swung, resulting in many, very tiny ice crystals to fly off the blade. When they hit flesh, it cuts and tears through like a hot knife through butter unless defenses are taken. If enough chakra is used, the ice crystals will become larger, to about the size of a large kunai, which would injure the target significantly.
It's final ability allows the blades to create a surge of frost to freeze a select amount of targets within a 25 foot diameter around the user. By touching a surface can cause the frost to direct its self towards the target stealthily, freezing their feet (or hands) to the ground, or whatever surface they're standing on, and/or touching. The frost can literally freeze the victim’s body in solid ice if they don’t take action. For a more direct form, albeit less accurate, the user will simply spin, causing the frost to fill the air within the same 25 foot diameter. This attack, if successful, will cause the blood within the victim's blood vessels to retract further in the body closer to more vital organs (a form of self defense the body does in reaction towards temperatures below 50 degrees), causing the flesh to freeze (frostbite) and it can be severe enough to cause loss of limb if one stays in the cloud.

Ascalon and Sidewinder - Ascalon & Sidewinder are the final two blades of the set. They are very lightweight, and very durable(built from the same materials as the others). These two blades are very efficient within close quarter combat, or for easy concealment. They are about three feet long, and have the strange ability to wind their hilts to touch the back sides of the weapon its self(used to lock into the Tsurugi). Another ability they have are the same as the others': to create a surge of elemental reaction towards channeling chakra through the blade. When this is done, it creates a flow of wind to blow around the blades (as if it were charged up with fuuton chakra) though enough chakra will cause a mini tornado to form around the blades. When swung, the backlash winds created have the strange effect to cut the flesh of the victim. This is possible due to tiny, microscopic blades the fuuton energy creates that pretty much pierce into the opponents flesh. The damage done is only enough to cut mildly in short bursts, however, if exposed to this constantly, it would create significant tissue damage, as well as destroy muscle tissue but, when used with the mini tornado effect, the wind chakra and blades will cut with enough force to severe limbs while dealing the tissue and muscle damage at a faster rate. He can also use the wind chakra to fire of concussive, pressurized vaccuum shells that break bones or blade of air.

Skills:
Reaction and Senses - Dense chakra manipulation and a ludicrous amount of sense training has enhanced Normatsu’s senses degrees that could almost be counted as superhuman. His senses are grand which has granted him great tracking abilities and made him particularly deadly in combat. His reaction time is abnormal in the respect that he can react and counter almost anything. Normatsu’s reaction time is so great that he can take action against targets that move much faster then himself.
Frozen Flame Release - Manipulating Water, Wind, and Fire, this release usually takes an appearance of whitish-blue flames. These flames are extremely cold, filled with the essence of ice and can flow swiftly and with a strong pressurized force like wind. This release can instantly freeze any surface it touches while generating the sheer crushing force of a typhoon and has the flames ability to spread fast and reignite off a single, little flame.
Rapid Violence (Jinsoku Kagai) - The Rapid Violence Style is a martial-arts style that was passed on to Normatsu by his mentor Zeff. It is designed to free the use of one's hands and prevent them from being damaged during a battle, something that is disastrous to a ninjutsu user. As a result, practitioners tend to drop into certain stances in which their upper-body portions are most relaxed, such as placing their hands inside their pockets or crossing their arms together across their chest, and only puts them into action whenever the event requires them to do certain maneuvers such as handstands, which aren't prohibited.
While Normatsu rarely takes this style to the extremes that he once used to, he still displays an intense level of attacking power with each kick and the average fighter simply cannot stand up to him. The only prominent times when (one of) Normatsu’s leg and feet takes on a bright silver color is when he gets serious.
As a fighting style, the style boasts a wide and impressive array of kicks, coupled with super acrobatic skill making it a very versatile fighting technique, allowing Normatsu to effectively weave continuous and powerful attacks upon adversaries and combine the power of his kicks with his other teammates respective strengths for devastating team combinations. What makes this truly deadly is the integration of chakra to increase the overall speed and power of kicks while also increasing the range. Elemental chakra can easily be infused to create some dangerous attacks.
History:
Normatsu was born to a clan known as the Izukaishi, a group of ninja that are able to wield the life of planet. They were a clan that lived in harmony with the Raito Clan, always invoking prosperity. Throughout his life, Normatsu showed a natural talent toward his clan’s birthright, demonstrating abilities uncommon within the average Izukaishi. Normatsu’s life was always action packed, from his initiation to Jounin to his first meeting with Daaku Raito and the encounter with his wife in his early twenties.
Respect wasn’t truly garnered until the Great War eleven years ago. Konoha handed a five man squad to Normatsu and his wife to hold a position near the front lines. The two of them brought down many a ninja until their fateful battle against Daaku Raito and Sanouske Uchiha. A battle raged across battlefield, causing destruction in it’s wake. Unfortunately for Normatsu, Sano was able to overpower his wife, killing her. No one was in used too fight after that moment, exhaustion and low chakra stopping them.
Normatsu grieved for his wife but, he harbored no ill will toward Sano as this was war and death was sometimes unavoidable. As the years went by, the Sage of Life overcame his sadness, and began to work toward the betterment of Konoha like his wife would have wanted.
Miscellaneous:
Akatsuki - Akatsuki are not trained, but chosen. Individuals forged in the fire of service and battle—those whose actions elevate them above the rank and file.” Akatsuki are agents entrusted with extraordinary authority by the reigning Kage of their village. They form an elite group selected from a number of different villages, and their primary responsibility is to preserve global stability by whatever means necessary. Though they are generally considered as being above the law and have complete discretion as to the methods used to accomplish their mission, an individual's status as a Akatsuki can be revoked by the Council in a case of a gross misconduct. Akatsuki work either alone or in small groups according to nature of a particular task and to their personal preference.
