Update type: Technique additions to newly approved character Senju, Tokugawa.

Information: Listed techniques below:
Name: Body Replacement Technique
Rank: E
Activation Cost: 1
Upkeep Cost: 1
Range: Touch
Speed: N/A
Element: N/A
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Open
Requirements: N/A
Parent Technique: N/A
Hand Seals: Tiger → Boar → Ox → Dog
Description: When utilizing this technique the user applies the transformation technique to an inanimate object in reach— in most cases being a log— to look like the user. This makes the object serve as a dummy to the aggressor. When struck the object will revert back to its original form after two seconds time has passed giving the user the opportunity to strike their stalled opponent, or flee.

The Body Replacement Technique allows the object to perform simple actions and can even react to damage received to make a more convincing illusion, however it cannot move from their location.

Weaknesses: This technique serves as a means to lure in suspicious foe or stall an aggressor. Given its simplicity the technique cannot move or speak, limiting its effectiveness as more cunning opponents will often not fall for the bait.

Name: Rope Escape Technique
Rank: E
Activation Cost: 1
Range: Touch
Speed: N/A
Element: N/A
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Open
Requirements: N/A
Parent Technique: N/A
Hand Seals: N/A
Description: This technique serves as a means to free themselves from any binding they may find themselves, such as vine entanglement or being tied up by a rope. When the user is bound, they do what they can to escape, such as by finding a way to untie the knot or dislocating their joints in order to get free of the bindings.
Weaknesses: This technique can only work on passive bindings, such as inanimate and uncontrolled bindings.

Name: Clone Technique
Rank: E
Activation Cost: 1
Upkeep Cost: 1
Range: Self
Speed: N/A
Element: N/A
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Open
Requirements: N/A
Parent Technique: N/A
Hand Seals: Ram → Snake → Tiger
Description: For this technique, the user creates up to four afterimages of themselves to move alongside them. Unlike most other clone techniques, these afterimages have no substance and thus are incapable of damaging opponents. Because of this, it is only useful for confusing enemies while other attacks are prepared. When performing this technique the user assumes any position among the group.
Weaknesses: Opponents can identify clones from their original through careful observation, as clones won't cast shadows, crush grass, kick up dust, etc.

Name: Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique
Rank: D
Power: D
Activation Cost: 3
Upkeep Cost: -
Range: 10 m.
Speed: -
Element: Earth
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: N/A
Requirements: Preexisting Earth
Parent Technique: N/A
Hand Seals: -
Description: This technique conceals the user underground and drags the object of their attack down into the earth, robbing them of their freedom, leaving them completely unable to move after they're underground. The user can only move in a linear fashion and can only remain underground for one post before they lose the ability to tunnel and must resurface or reactivate.
Weaknesses: The user must have some way of sensing the target above or know where their target is before submerging.


Note: Forgoing the fifth technique so that he has four jutsu instead of a starting five
