TL;DR in green below.
(Making a note that I am posting this for another friend before people go getting ideas.)
In zone 3 on the account Eikan, I rped using the same underhanded tactic that Bocc used to ‘kill’ Kamui twice now. By taking some of his blood I ingested it and made the circle and proceed to kill myself. Now; I obtained Jashinism through Manji Uchiha, whom Human pathed Bocc a while back to gain all of his knowledge. That is how I gained the ability to use the dark Ritual. Manji also gave me a vial of his blood. I rped everything, and have the PDF files to prove it, but now all of a sudden in order to use the Ritual itself, you need a body modification, even though it says on the Wiki the immortality alone was what needed a body mod. I decided to ask Hazama (Who is so graciously making this forum topic for me) And he says he never got a body modification from bocc to use the Ritual. Odd don’t you think? That now all of a sudden you need this miraculous surgery to use the attack that is gonna kill him? Well, even if this was true and not utterly Meta, you cannot customize a canon tech and still call it canon. So while he has made his own little branch of Jashinism, the actual Canon jashinism would still be available for me to use seeing as it would be in his repertoire of knowledge gained by Manji. And with Manji giving me all his available knowledge of Jashin, the attack would still be valid.
Alright, before i delve into this, Kamui actually was off'd a second time by that technique?
Da fuq...
Secondly, how does one kill a fellow jashinist (one who is immortal last I checked) with their own technique? Unless the hiden has that particular weakness, the means with which you off yourself determines whether the jashinist victim would even need to worry. Presuming you did sufficient (and proper) damage to perform this, I'm startled that this is only just now coming to light/attention. (Well, not really, last minute is always ftw).
Going off what Warren said, immortality came first, not the Cursed Blood Technique...
Presuming that one recognizes the claim that Jashin is a character (which I doubt anyone does save for that character) then yes, immortality came first considering that backstory. Logically, I highly doubt that immortality came first.
This seems like a very useful torture and incapacitate tool (not necessarily kill). Using advanced medical techniques, a stab to the knee that cripples your opponent you can heal from, the speed of which not mattering since your foe could only kill you to actually beat you, while your fellow spiritualists savagely kill your crippled foe.
So, using logic, the technique probably came first; immortality came second after the Jashinists experimented with their special regeneration techniques, in order to enhance their special ritual kill technique. Presuming that the killing is linked to the immortality, they started killing their foes using the technique once they no longer had to be concerned with also dying, and in order to make sure that they did not have to be concerned about dying. But that is speculation.
And even then, suicide is not uncommon in religious warfare. Suicide bombers come to mind?
... You told me before that all it takes for someone to be a Jashinist is to for them to believe in the religion, just like Chiyo had before you actually gave her immortality.
So, Eikan believes in Jashin, knows of the history, and then offs himself using the technique he was taught. It's suicide, yes, but it's not impossible.
All it takes to use shadow imitation proficiently is to be a member of the Nara Clan (in my book). But that does not give anyone the right to use my custom Nara clan techniques, nor re-create similar version of them without my permission (without my permission being key, as I have given permission once before. It turned into a bit of a mess though since the re-creation was not as fluidly done, and said character decided to attack Konoha/Naras using the inspired technique).
The Death Controlling is not a custom technique. It is a canon technique that, as we discussed in the kirisame thread:
Getting way off topic >.>
Fair enough, I'll let it go, even though the strength of the technique is what made its comparisons to hiraishin questionable in the first place. Not to mention Bocc's logic is one hard to beat unless you're into repetition.
Cloud, blown, have the very water in the cloud absorb chakra (which would make some sense since the rain is able to absorb chakra) and Futon on it rendered impractical again.
The point of the matter is that canonically, it is a secret technique of the Mit of Kirigakure; in the SL-verse, this is apparently not the case, and many find that it is a little late for Kiri to try to force through OOC a cease-and-desist order on the jutsu.
Examples of some secret techs:
http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Demonic_Mirroring_Ice_Crystals (Hijutsu: Makyō Hyōshō)
http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Secret_Technique:_Mist_Rain (Hijutsu: Kirisame)
http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Wood_Release_Secret_Technique:_Nativity_of_a_World_of_Trees (Mokuton Hijutsu: Jukai Kōtan)
http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_Imitation_Technique (Konoha Hiden: Kageshibari no Jutsu it has been called at one point)
http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/One_Thousand_Years_of_Death (Konohagakure Hiden Taijutsu Ōgi: Sennen Goroshi is the full name according to the wiki)
http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Iwagakure_Kinjutsu (No name is given by wikia, though the series stated that it was an Iwa secret kinjutsu)
http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Earth_Grudge_Fear (Earth Grudge Fear)
A common trend among them is that they tend to either possess the identity of the user(s) in the technique name, or it is explicitly stated in some other fashion. Also among these groups, the users tend to either be among the individuals taught the technique or thieves of the technique in some shape or fashion.
The Kirigakure hunter ninja example is not much of an exception from what we are shown, so we can assume canonically that it is a technique passed down only among Mist shinobi (specifically, their hunter ninja division).
Obviously in the SL-verse that is not the situation, even though Bocc has claimed for a long time now to have come from Kirigakure (check the history of the page if you're skeptical: http://narutoprofile.wikia.com/wiki/Bocchiere?oldid=14987 ) and to have advanced to the rank of ANBU, around which time he got picked up by the Cult.
Now, Bocc may have picked up the technique during his time in the ANBU, as the hunter ninja are a special division of Kiri's ANBU (http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Hunter-nin). Presuming of course Kiri's claims were to go through, Bocc would still have legitimate cause to know the technique, whether he stole it from former comrades or was taught it being somewhat irrevelent at this point.
Now, while that is unimportant in the scheme that Kiri really can't hardcore put a cease and desist order on the technique on users who already know it, it is something to point out if Bocc's usage of the technique comes into question. Kiri can actively state that future users cannot just up and claim the technique if they want and go from there, as there is sufficient backing that they can claim it.
They just can't retro-claim all the folks who already have it.
That's me returning to the topic.
*As a parallel to the Sound Release discussion, it can be claimed to be theirs in origin, but they can't stop folks who already have it from using it.
tl,dr: It can be claimed to be his in origin, but he can't stop folks who already have it before enforcement from using it. Additionally, he cannot stop them from teaching it either.
Based on Bocc's backstory, he has, in a way, claimed the distribution technique, and has restricted the usage, very similar to hiraishin. Does he have a contract? Well, no, but he does have conditions that need to be met all the same. Were they published somewhere public, or at least known to those who were made jashinists?
It is likely, but don't get me started on things I don't know for sure.
Now, on to the actual problem at hand, which is whether or not what's his face can have access to this technique.
According to narutoprofile wikia, Bocc's profile, which may or may not be up to date:
...Voicing these opinions gained the attention of the Cult of Jashin who were secretly planning a coup against the Mist village. Bocchiere agreed wholeheartedly with this plan of action but was disappointed to find that the cult contained no one of great strength, they had decided to pin their hopes on him. Through weeks upon pain laden weeks Bocchiere was changed, he gained not only the most powerful abilities of the Cult of Jashin but the powers of the Kaguya Shikotsumyaku as well. After being thoroughly changed by the cult Bocchiere decided that he no longer needed the support of such weaklings and slaughtered them all and took a relic of the their, and his new faith...
Bocc acquired (through means unexplictly stated, but otherwise presumed to be experimentation) immortality and the jashinist techniques. The page's most recent update was in late September, so I have little doubt that this information is somewhat accurate.
*ahem*
Bocchiere stole the experiments from the Cult of Jashin that he destroyed, only after destroying them he discovered that he could not replicate the experiment, thus I only have a limited amount of Jashinists I can make, due to the limited supply of chemicals that have proven impossible to reproduce. 10 to start now minus Night, Hazama, and Kuma. That's why I don't just make everyone in Akatsuki a Jashinist, there would be no downside to doing so otherwise...
This read is more famaliar than I feel it should be, but nonetheless, this is only slightly contradictory, as it suggests that he cannot replicate the "experiment", which is the immortality. If, as earlier postulated, that immortality and the technique are intricately linked, then it is likely that the user must kill in order to maintain their immortality; otherwise, I see no other reason for why the two would be as cloesely linked as one to need immortality in order to use the blood controlling technique.
If indeed the two techniques are that closely linked, then I agree whole-heartedly that without being immortal, one could not use this technique.
However, Bocc's claim that there is no other jashinist is partially incorrect, at least in the aspect that the immortality has only ever been claimed by him:
http://narutoprofile.wikia.com/wiki/Angra_MainyuWhether still active or not, I recall when this man was in Konoha. And he claimed to be Jashin. I, and perhaps some others, did not take the claim of being a God very seriously, but his inability to die and such such seemed to be acknowledged in RP, or at least continues to be claimed. The source of this guy's immortality is an experiment that put all the world's evils into him, or something to that strain:
Immortality Edit
Angra Mainyu's main advantage is his inability to die, a result of being cursed with the world's evils when he was but a simple villager. His immortality allows him to survive numerous fatal injuries, and almost any form of dismemberment over the countless years he has lived. Even though he is impervious to most physical attacks, as well as survive the injuries that actually get through to him, he is still susceptible to pain, however in the present he barely recognizes it, having suffered much traumatic pain in the past. Despite being "immortal", he is still capable of dying from a lack of nutrients.
That is the short version. Anyways, notice how the characteristics are VERY similar to that of the jashinist immortality, because in that continium, they are one in the same. While Angra does not claim the technique in question, he does claim the so called parent technique:
http://narutoprofile.wikia.com/wiki/Verg_AvestaNow then, looking at the zone postings, the killing occurs supposedly by destroying the chakra network itself in the body.
http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Chakra_Pathway_SystemFor all intensive purposes, let us hope that Bocc was not in the middle of a technique, because without a doubt he would not be able to use it.
Now, what is within doubt is whether it would instantly kill him or not.
http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kakuzu http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Wind_Release:_Rasenshurikenhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5VV0UtuyMw 15:40
Being hit directly with the rasenshuriken obliterated Kakuzu in many ways, one of them ripping him at the cellular level. As described by Tsunade and the fact that Kakuzu was hit dead on by this technique, he effectively could not channel chakra at all, nor move. His chakra pathway system was largely if not completely unusable.
The sage mode version would have left nothing of him, but that is besides the point. Without his chakra system, Kakuzu still lingered in life, despite losing all of his hearts and any rugged circulatory system that he may have had. Of course, the severity of the damage can be argued to not have been complete and utter destruction, but complete severing is pretty close as far as canon example goes.
Kakuzu still had to be finished off, though that is probably because of his hidden technique turning his body into that puppet thing. Of course, Kakashi was smart enough not to take any chances.
So, in theory, Bocc might could survive the attack due to his body modifications, but the nature and what fuels the immortality would have to come into question. If it is chakra, chances are, the jashinist experiments would not help him. The only argument that could be made for him surviving is that Hidan can be decapitated and thus, survive being cut off from any source of chakra from his body, though how that is done would also determine whether destroying the network entirely is done.
So, presuming that we cast aside the alternate history to the jashinist immortality and its blood controlling technique and focus solely on Bocc's, and also set on the notion that the technique and immortality are not intricately linked in a fashion rendering them inseparable, then I hold to the claim that the technique can in fact be acquired in the manner stated. I also hold to the assertion that it is ridiculous to try to kill Bocc using this technique using traditional methods of offing onself.
Concerning the attack, Bocc may have a chance at survival, if it can be argued that his immortality would prevent him from being killed by this. He would be unable to use chakra and thus jutsu if he were to survive without immediate repair (since as Warren said, he could not survive long if at all without chakra flow, though he wouldn't necessarily lose his chakra), which is not really possible with medical ninjutsu, and would likely require a reincarnation technique of sorts (hence why his foe struck his eyes I presume) or the Earth Grudge Fear technique (which would re-create a surrogate chakra circulatory system, though unless he knows it himself he would need someone else to maintain this structure).
In really really short, it would have been less of a debate in my opinion had the guy just vaporized his own body via dust release or something of that sort. Whew. Now I can check on my biju list postings.
