Rules & Guidebook [Updated: 10/04/2024]

This system defines your character's capabilities through various stats that measure proficiency in jutsu, physical abilities, and chakra management. Stats are divided into Special Stats, Jutsu Stats & Physical Stats. Below is a breakdown of each stat and how they function IC.

Your character’s total chakra pool, which decreases with jutsu use during events (threads). Each jutsu costs a specific amount of chakra, which is deducted from your total. The chakra cost for each of your registered jutsu will be recorded on your Databook entry. Chakra cannot be recovered during the same event (same thread) unless special circumstances apply (cursed mark, medical shinobi, etc.) Chakra repletes between events. You can upgrade your chakra pool via the Shop.

Exhaustion Penalty: Once chakra reaches 0, your character dies. It is your responsibility to determine how much chakra you have left. There is a calculator on the side of the forum for your convenience. If you are found violating the chakra limitations of your character, you risk having your character killed and/or account banned.

Your ability to fine-tune and utilize your chakra. Largely utilized in determining the cost of your Ninjutsu, Genjutsu and Fuuinjutsu. Chakra control is not utilized in in-event calculations per se.

1. 5% reduction to base cost
2. 10% reduction to base cost
