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.

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: 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: Transformation 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: Dog → Boar → Ram
Description: This technique is most often used to disguise the user as another person, but they can also turn into an animal, plant, or inanimate object. Users will gain the attributes and physical features of whatever they transform into, such as a weapon's sharpness or an animal's fangs. The quality of the item or appendages cannot exceed D/D.
Weaknesses: The user is limited to transforming into objects no smaller than 1/5 their size. The user cannot transform into items or creatures larger than themselves. This technique requires concentration. When the user suffers from exhaustion (below 30 CP) or receives a substantial blow the technique dispels automatically. A perceptive opponent may detect flaws, such as false smells or an intelligent opponent detecting inaccurate details. Despite taking on the properties of what they transform into the user can still receive damage as normal. This means transforming into a sword and clashing with another sword will result in the technique dispelling and the user getting injured. When taking on a creature's physical features this impacts your overall stat potential (aka no S-tier Strength birds flying through people.)

Name: Water Clone Technique
Rank: C
Cost: -
Range: 25 m.
Speed: -
Element: Water
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: N/A
Requirement: N/A
Parent Technique: N/A
Handseals: Tiger
Description: By using water as a medium, the user can create one or more clones of themselves. While the clones can perform techniques, they only possess one-tenth of the user's chakra and cannot go too far from the original. The clones can also be used as a medium to perform other Water Release techniques, as demonstrated by Kisame when he reverted their arms into water to perform the Water Prison Technique. When these clones are struck with a sufficient amount of force they will revert to their water form. The clones can be created anywhere within a 25 m. range of the user, unlike the Shadow Clone technique which requires clones to be created next to the user (such ranged spawning would require the clone to be spawned from a pre-existing source of water)
Drawbacks: When casting this technique the user's stamina must be above 30% in order to maintain control over his/her clones. In addition, the user must maintain general concentration to maintain their clone's presence. If at any time the user is inflicted with heavy damage in contrast with their Constitution all clones will be dispersed. The user must be within 25 m. of their clone.

Skill: Kenjutsu
Classification: Open
Requirements: Twin Divide
Parent Technique: Twin Divide
Hand Seals: ---
Description:
This is one of the few techniques from Twin Divide that actually focuses on power. This is because the user performs something close to a scissor at the opponent. Which can be done by swinging both bladed weapons in a horizontal arc. One coming from the right, and the other coming from the left. Leaving the opponent right in the middle where both blades begin to meet and slice open the stomach area if left unprotected. Boosts Strength by 2 advantages and Coordination by 1 advantage.
Weaknesses:
When armor is involved around the stomach area it is a contest between the weapons and the armor. In some cases the weapons will cut through to an extent for the power will be dropped to D rank.

Description:
A common swordstyle that most people and beginners start off and even most often than naught they unknowingly doing it. The style focuses around strikes from the katana that are both simple and efficient to use. The normal stance for the Red Tiger is to place the dominant foot in front of you as you shift your body sideways so to speak. Your other foot should be behind you as it will serve as your root while the one up front is the accelerator. Sword wise it should always be facing in front of you at the opponent. Using this style boosts the user’s Speed and Coordination by 1 advantage.

Name: Nikko ”Sunlight”
Rank: D
Power: D
Activation Cost: 3
Upkeep Cost: ---
Range: Melee
Speed: D
Element: ---
Skill: Kenjutsu
Classification: Open
Requirements: Red Tiger Style
Parent Technique: Moonlight
Hand Seals: ---
Description:
It is considered as a cheap trick to some practitioners, but basically the user angles their sword at just the right spot to direct the blinding sunlight at the opponent’s eyes. Then the user will continue the motion to lunge forward while simultaneously slashing horizontally at the target in that moment of weakness. Boosts Coordination by 2 advantages.
Weaknesses:
Due to the fact that it requires light equivalent in brightness as the sun it is mainly used outdoors. The Sunlight cannot be used while in dim lighting and in the dark. Also if the opponent is quick and aware of it then they can just close their eyes against it on time to resist the blinding aspect.

Name: Akai Mikadzuki ”Red Crescent”
Rank: D
Power: D
Activation Cost: 1

Range: Melee
Speed: D
Element: ---
Skill: Kenjutsu
Classification: Open
Requirements: Red Tiger Style
Parent Technique: Red Tiger Style
Hand Seals: ---
Description: A counter based technique that requires near perfect timing to execute properly to have maximum effect. When the opponent moves to attacking the user either by weapon or body, the user may react to it by evading it. The process starts by leaning to the rear foot and using the dominant foot to pivot into a spinning motion. Using the ball of the rear foot for balance, the practitioner effectively side-steps out of the opponent’s trajectory. The full spin ends in a single swift motion as the user would slash horizontally at the opponent’s arm, leg, or the sides. Using this technique boosts Coordination by 2 advantages.
Weaknesses: As mentioned beforehand, this technique requires the opponent to initiate an attack that is frontal or simply charging within the 120 degree view of the user’s sight. As such the user must be aware of the attack and it must be within melee range. Ninjutsu being externalized at a distance such as a Fireball for example would render this counter ineffective.

Name: Akai Rubi ”Red Ruby”
Rank: C
Power: C
Activation Cost: 5
Upkeep Cost: ---
Range: Melee
Speed: C
Element: ---
Skill: Kenjutsu
Classification: Open
Requirements: Red Tiger Style
Parent Technique: ---
Hand Seals: ---
Description:
The Red Ruby was given that name simply because this attack is power oriented. It takes on the katsugi waza technique in terms of aspect as the user brings the sword to their left shoulder. Then after taking a step forward the user brings a heavy strike around the opponent’s upper torso. The technique is meant to break through the opponent’s guard, but should there be no armor then the katana would very likely slice a limb off or at least half way. Boosts Strength by 1 tier.
Weaknesses:
Due to the stance the user would be considered vulnerable at the lower body.

Name: Agehacho ”Swallowtail”
Rank: C
Power: C
Activation Cost: 3
Upkeep Cost: ---
Range: Melee
Speed: C
Element: ---
Skill: Kenjutsu
Classification: Open
Requirements: Red Tiger Style
Parent Technique: Red Crescent/Red Tiger Style
Hand Seals: ---
Description: An advanced counter that follows the same concept as the Red Crescent. The user avoids the opponent’s incoming melee attack by sidestepping or in some cases even backstepping. Instead of swinging the katana in a horizontal arc however, the user instead precisely slashes at the opponent’s palm side of the wrist or forearm. Should there be no armor present, this technique will cut into the muscles at just the right depth to practically render them useless from carrying weapons. It makes any sign weaving clumsy with the affected limb, and forming a fist will be a struggle on its own. Boosts Coordination by 2 advantages and Speed by 1 advantage.
Weaknesses: Again this is a counter, so naturally it won’t go off if the opponent is not the one attacking. Additionally if the opponent is wearing armor around the arms then it’ll be a contest of blade against armor. In most cases the technique won’t hinder the opponent’s arm, but it will still leave a mark be it skin or armor.
