Techs Awaiting Training:

Stepwise:

Name: Stepwise [段階的 - Dankai-teki]
Rank: C-rank
Power: -
Activation Cost: 5
Upkeep Cost: 3
Range: 20m
Speed: 20m/s | User's Speed + 20m/s
Element: Bakuton
Skill: Taijutsu
Classification: Secret
Requirements: Bakuton, Taijutsu
Parent Technique: Explosion Release: Landmine Fist [爆遁・地雷拳 - Bakuton: Jirai ken]
Hand Seals: Ram (1)
Description: The user starts by weaving the appropriate handsign and sends chakra to their feet, wherein they can release the chakra outwards of their feet in a quick and volatile explosion to propel them forward very quickly. This technique can be used while the user is running on the ground as a quick gap closer stacking the 20m/s burst on top of the speed they were already moving or the user can use this in midair or to rapidly change direction in which case they only move at 20m/s in whatever direction they wish to go. If the user maintains the technique over several posts, they can only use one burst per post while the technique is active.
Weaknesses: While a mid air burst and gap closer is extremely powerful, this jutsu has several issues wherein it tunnels their focus and only allows them to move in a straight line in one direction.

Mechanism Dismantling:

Name: Mechanism Dismantling [壊れたロック - Kowareta rokku]
Rank: E-rank
Power:D-rank
Activation Cost: 1
Upkeep Cost: -
Range: 0.1m
Speed: 1 m/s
Element: Bakuton
Skill: NinTaijutsu
Classification: Secret
Requirements: Bakuton, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu
Parent Technique: Explosion Release: Landmine Fist [爆遁・地雷拳 - Bakuton: Jirai ken]
Hand Seals: -
Description: The user finds the entrance to a small non-chakra enhanced mechanism and begins fusing his hand with a small amount of Bakuton chakra. By placing his finger at the entry point of the mechanism or by holding the device within his hands, he release a small amount of Bakuton chakra in a near silent puff meant to destroy the workings of the mechanism. Most aptly, this is used on various locks to break the lock from within, shattering the mechanism and opening whatever contents were held by it. However, this jutsu can also be used to break the links on chains, tear a rope that may be binding him, or a variety of other non-chakra enhanced items limited only by the 10 centimeters size that the user can destroy/break. This jutsu is fairly weak and if applied to a person, would only apply D-rank levels of damage to a small exterior area.
Weaknesses: This is a straight forward jutsu, makes a small amount of noise that can be heard by highly attentive guardians or nearby persons.

Double Strike:

Name: Double Strike [つの毒蛇 - Tsu no dokuhebi]
Rank: C-rank
Power: B-rank
Activation Cost: 5
Upkeep Cost: 3
Range: Self
Speed: User's Speed
Element: Bakuton
Skill: Taijutsu
Classification: Secret
Requirements: Bakuton, Taijutsu
Parent Technique: Explosion Release: Landmine Fist [爆遁・地雷拳 - Bakuton: Jirai ken]
Hand Seals: Half-Tiger, Half-Boar, Half-Tiger (3)
Description: The user weaves together the appropriate signs and infuses Bakuton chakra into his limbs. Upon achieving this the user enters a combination attack beginning with a spinning kick, punch, elbow, or knee and ending with a second strike of one of the four listed movements. Upon contact of either blow, the user releases a highly volatile amount of Bakuton chakra at their opponent, causing B-rank damage on contact in a 0.5 meter half sphere area for every strike they are able to land. Should the user continue to infuse chakra and maintain the technique, they can continue their double strike once on each post that they maintain the jutsu.
Weaknesses: As with most Bakuton techniques, the shape and direction of the explosion and risk potentially hitting others with the explosion that get in the way.

Pounce:

Name: Pounce [ジャガーの動き - Jagā no ugoki]
Rank: D-rank
Power: C-rank
Activation Cost: 3
Upkeep Cost: 1
Range: 10m burst | 1m explosion
Speed: User's speed + 10 m/s
Element: Bakuton
Skill: Taijutsu
Classification: Secret
Requirements: Bakuton, Taijutsu
Parent Technique: Explosion Release: Landmine Fist [爆遁・地雷拳 - Bakuton: Jirai ken]
Hand Seals: Boar (1)
Description: The user weaves together Bakuton chakra in their feet and their hands. Using the chakra in their feet, they create a small burst like jump to jump at their opponent while striking them and releasing the chakra in their hand for a small explosion. Covering a 1 meter area and delivering C-rank damage across the entire area in a spherical area. Should the user decide to maintain this technique, they can strike for an equivalent size and powered explosion once per post as long as its maintained but can only utilize the burst of speed when the jutsu is activated.
Weaknesses: As with most Bakuton techniques, the shape and direction of the explosion and risk potentially hitting others with the explosion that get in the way. Additionally, this techniques burst risks the user tunnel visioning on their target as this burst only allows them to move in a straight line.

Name:Explosion Release: Explosive Blows [爆遁・地雷拳 - Bakuton: Jirai ken]
Rank: C-rank
Power: C-rank
Activation Cost: 5
Upkeep Cost: -
Range: 1 meter
Speed: 10 m/s
Element: Bakuton
Skill: Taijutsu
Classification: Clan Exclusive
Requirements: Access to Bakuton and the Explosive Combat trait of the Kotoshura
Parent Technique: -
Hand Seals: -
Description: Katsumi's basic form of the Kotōshura's Explosive Combat Ability, allowing him  to release a blast of highly volatile Bakuton chakra at the edge of his impact/strike (no hand seals required). The blastwave of the Bakuton chakra itself at this level is fairly small, only encompassing a 1 meter semi-circle facing away from Katsumi. Serving as a foundation and base for nearly all of his Explosive Combat techniques, this simple technique can be delivered by any strike (punch, kick, etc...) and can be stacked on top of other non-Bakuton Taijutsu techniques (allowing Katsumi to deliver multiple Bakuton infused strikes via Taijutsu combinations).
Weaknesses: Katsumi cannot control the direction of the blast or who is encompassed within it when striking. This means that the linearity of the Landmine Fist's delivery makes it easy to see coming while also indiscriminate in who takes damage (should they be caught within the blast radius).

Bodily Temperament:

Name: Bodily Temperament [体の燃料 - Karada no nenryō]
Rank: C-rank
Power: -
Activation Cost: 3
Upkeep Cost: 1
Range: Self
Speed: -
Element: Bakuton
Skill: Taijutsu
Classification: Secret
Requirements: Bakuton, Taijutsu
Parent Technique: Explosion Release: Landmine Fist [爆遁・地雷拳 - Bakuton: Jirai ken]
Hand Seals: -
Description: This is a Unique Booster technique where Katsumi charges his body with a steady stream of Bakuton chakra that his body naturally maintains and releases it in slow and small bursts within his body as he moves. This allows Katsumi to utilize the force of the chakra within his body and his own movement to propel himself in a sense, resulting in an increase to his speed (++) in a general sense as well as his point-to-point movements (ie. he can run faster and can strike/move faster).
Weaknesses: Though the internal chakra releases aren't enough to necessarily damage Katsumi physically, having to mold and maintain chakra throughout his body does take a tole on him, requiring him to rest/sleep/eat/restore his energy much more often than the average person.

First Step:

Name: First Step [最初の一歩 - Saisho no ippo]
Rank: C-rank
Power: C-rank
Activation Cost: 5
Upkeep Cost: 3
Range: Self
Speed: -
Element: Bakuton
Skill: Taijutsu
Classification: Secret
Requirements: Bakuton, Taijutsu
Parent Technique: Explosion Release: Landmine Fist [爆遁・地雷拳 - Bakuton: Jirai ken]
Hand Seals: -
Description: Similarly to the Landmine Fist, Katsumi charges his body with a heavy and active stream of Bakuton chakra. Under his control and using the principles of internal Taijutsu enhancement, he infuses his muscles with the highly volatile and explosive nature of Bakuton but instead of releasing it in a violent explosion, he controls the release internally as he moves granting him a significant boost in speed. The First Step provides Katsumi with a 1 tier increase to his speed outright.
Weaknesses: The strain on Katsumi's body is intense, and as such, when this technique is ended Katsumi suffers an equivalent 1 tier debuff to his speed for 1/2 the number of posts as he had this technique active. (This debuff can be cancelled by reactivating this technique or by activating any of the higher 'Step' jutsu above this one)

Dismantle:

Name: Explosion Release: Dismantle [爆遁・解体する - Bakuton: Kaitai suru]
Rank: C-rank
Power: C-rank
Activation Cost: 5
Upkeep Cost: -
Range: 10m
Speed: 15 m/s
Element: Bakuton
Skill: Nin-Taijutsu
Classification: Secret
Requirements: Bakuton, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu
Parent Technique: Explosion Release: Landmine Fist [爆遁・地雷拳 - Bakuton: Jirai ken]
Hand Seals: Bird, Rat, Ram (3)
Description: The user begins this technique by weaving together a series of signs (Bird, Rat, Ram) and bringing their hands in front of their body with their palms facing forward. With a quick charge of Bakuton chakra to their hands, the user releases a blastwave outwards towards an incoming jutsu or enemy. This explosion specially targets and disrupts other techniques and rips it apart in the force of the shockwave created, capable of completely nullifying a jutsu of equivalent rank. This shockwave travels outward conically from the users hands and any people caught inside will take the full brunt of the explosion and (on top of potentially being hurt by the shockwave) will be propelled backwards the full distance of the shockwave without any means to resist the knockback.
Weaknesses: As with most Bakuton techniques, the blast wave is indiscriminate in what it hits and what it can damage/destroy. Allied techniques and the allies/bystanders themselves can be dispelled/damage/knocked back by this jutsu if caught within the blast.

Earth Armor:

Name: Earth Release: Armor [土遁・マイナー鎧 - Doton: Mainā Yoroi]
Rank: C-rank
Power: -
Activation Cost: 5
Upkeep Cost: 3 (if applicable)
Range: Self
Speed: C-rank
Element: Doton
Skill: Nin-Taijutsu
Classification: Secret
Requirements: Doton, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu
Parent Technique: -
Hand Seals: Monkey, Dog, Tiger, Snake (4)
Description: A simple technique after Katsumi weaves together a few quick hand-signs (Monkey, Dog, Tiger, Snake) and begins to channel his chakra over his person. By doing so, a very thin layer of doton chakra covers the top of his person and infuses with his skin. This thin layer of Doton chakra isn't visible to the naked eye when forming and keeps his defense hidden so long as he wishes to maintain it. This armor acts as both a layer of protection from both physical and chakra attacks equivalent to the rank of this jutsu but will show by the cracking of Katsumi's skin like that of the earth when hit.
Weaknesses: -

Parent Technique: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique
Hand Seals: Horse, Monkey, Dog, Snake (4)
Description: The user weaves chakra into their hands and feet and weave the signs before pressing themselves into a fluid like earth at their feet. Once submerged, the earth and ground directly around the user becomes fluid at the touch and allows them to move and operate underneath the ground without disturbing the surface above them.

Smokescreen:

Name: Bakuton: Smokescreen [爆遁・煙幕 - Bakuton: Enmaku]
Rank: D-rank
Power: D-rank
Activation Cost: 3
Upkeep Cost: 1
Range: 5 meters radius
Speed: 5 m/s
Element: Bakuton (Explosion Release)
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Secret
Requirements: Bakuton, Ninjutsu
Parent Technique: N/A
Hand Seals: Ram, Tiger
Description: The user charges their arms and hands with bakuton chakra after weaving the appropriate signs before launching out a flurry of explosions in a circle around themselves (or semi-circle if they focus in one direction). These explosions create a cloud of essentially dirt and debris (the doton portion of the jutsu) as a sort of smokescreen in a 5 meter radius from the user. Uniquely, the particulates in the air if inhaled can cause a nasty cough after leaving the cloud as the dirt and debris can fill the lungs and throat of any enemy or friendly combatants entering the area of the smokescreen (the user remains unaffected by this due to it being of their own chakra).
Weaknesses:This smokescreen can easily affect teammates and obscure their vision as well as enemies.

Clay Serpent:

Name: Explosion Release: Clay Serpent [爆遁・粘土の蛇 - Bakuton: Nendo no hebi]
Rank: D-rank
Power: D-rank
Activation Cost: 3
Upkeep Cost: 1
Range: 20 meters
Speed: 10 m/s
Element: Bakuton (Explosion Release)
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Secret
Requirements: Bakuton, Ninjutsu
Parent Technique: N/A
Hand Seals: Snake, Monkey, Rat, Dragon, Ram
Description: Katsumi pulls forth an amount of clay (if on his person) and throws it to the ground or converts some of the ground to clay for the jutsu. As he weaves together the hand signs the clay quickly converts itself into the shape of a snake as it animates and moves forward from Katsumi, creating two snakes in total around 2 meters in length. The snakes can each focus on a singular enemy or both onto one person if needed. The snakes aim to coil around the enemy and restrict their movements upon direct contact by wrapping their limbs and body up and across but are unable to attack or damage in their own right. The key offensive advantage of the snakes is the Bakuton charge they have, when broken or destroyed they can explode in a 2 meter radius around the target that they have wrapped. The paralysis can be broken instantly by someone with strength greater thank the rank of this technique but if both snakes restrict a person, it will take a person with strength of at least C-rank to break themselves free.

Confinement:

Name: Earth Release: Confinement [閉じ込め - Tojikome]
Rank: D-rank
Power: D-rank
Activation Cost: 3
Upkeep Cost: 1
Range: 25 meters
Speed: N/A
Element: Doton
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Secret
Requirements: Doton, Ninjutsu
Parent Technique: Doton: Hiding Like a Mole
Hand Seals: Horse, Monkey, Dog, Snake
Description: The user weaves chakra into their hands and feet as they weave the signs before flowing the chakra into the earth at their feet. Following this, they can press themselves into a now fluid-like earth at their feet. Once submerged, the earth and ground directly around the user becomes fluid at the touch as long as they maintain this jutsu and allows them to move and operate underground. While underground, they move at a reduced speed of - but do not disturb the surface of the earth above them. The user can freely emerge and submerge from the ground as they choose to and are able to do so.
Weaknesses: -

Landmine Creation:

Name: Explosion Release: Landmine Creation [爆遁・地雷の創造 - Bakuton: Jirai no sōzō]
Rank: D-rank
Power: D-rank
Activation Cost: 3
Upkeep Cost: 1
Range: 25 meters
Speed: N/A
Element: Bakuton (Explosion Release)
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Secret
Requirements: Ninjutsu, Bakuton
Parent Technique: N/A
Hand Seals: Monkey, Rat, Bird, Horse, Dragon : Ram
Description: The key purpose of this jutsu is to turn the landscape into Katsumi's favor. By weaving together the hand signs and pressing his palms into the ground, he can turn the very landscape around him into a set of explosives for his own use. The chakra charged in his hands travels through the earth and creates small disposed circles of Bakuton chakra in the ground/earth/flooring (provided that it is earth based as a derivative) and converts the ground into a landmine for his use. In total, Katsumi can create up to 5 explosives with this technique up to 25 meters away from his person (in a 180 degree arc from his view). The explosions detonate when an enemy steps on the circle of chakra or when detonated by Katsumi using the Ram hand seal. When detonated, the landmines explode in a 2 meter radius outward from where they are located.
Weaknesses: Due to Katsumi's explosions, it is very easy for allies to wander into the landmines if they are unaware where they are. Even though Katsumi has control, they are still able to auto-detonate.

Force:

Name: Explosion Release: Force [爆遁・力 - Bakuton: Chikara]
Rank: D-rank
Power: C-rank
Activation Cost: 3
Upkeep Cost: 1
Range: 25 meters
Speed: 15 m/s
Element: Bakuton (Explosion Release)
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Secret
Requirements: Bakuton, Ninjutsu
Parent Technique: Landmine Fist
Hand Seals: Bird
Description: This is a simple jutsu the user crafts by weaving the (Bird) hand sign then flushing their hands forward with their palms faced outwards. From their hands, the user creates a singular blast explosion that has a few simple properties. The blast is incredibly small but the real power in this jutsu is the incredible blastwave created from the explosion (expands at 15 m/s) that forces enemies within 25 meters of the explosion off their feet in a powerful knockback. This knockback provides enough force that it beats out movements techniques and chakra retention techniques (such as Supernatural walking practice) of C-rank and lower, needing at least a B rank technique or A-rank strength to withstand the knockback or maneuver within the blast.
Weaknesses: This is a mostly utility technique and as such, the blast created does not do any real or noticeable damage. Meaning that in order to simply push away a person, the caster must weave signs and utilize both hands, leaving themselves wide open for a clever enemy to exploit.
