That's a good thread KatonMakai ^^
Some people have good ideas for inventing new jutsu.
I've been watching this for a few days now, but no one tried to create a new character ^^'
Well, this evening I gave it a try... I present young Konoha Ninja, Jouji Nekofuku
First Name:
譲治Jouji. The name comes from a character in a Japanese Buddhist tale. See below for more information.
Surname:
猫福Nekofuku. This means lucky cat. Grammatically this is a correct Japanese surname as it comes with a noun and an adjective, but there's very likely no one with that name in Japan. I choosed it because this character likes cats and other felines.
Jouji has never known his family or clan. While his clan was moving to another village after being chased because of their bloodline limit, baby Jouji was kidnapped by ninja's of an enemy country as they were interested in Nekofuku's bloodline.
Although being well-treated, they abandonned him in the rest, when his temperature body was rising when his bloodline and his affinity for fire started developping. Having no clue what it was, they though Jouji got some uncureable illness, as his forehead felt like someone suffering from a very high fever.
Luckily for Jouji, a member of the Uchiha clan found him and raised the little boy. Sadly enough, his happiness short, because of Itachi Uchiha. Although being upset, filled with anger, he stayed loyal to what his father and sensei taught him and revenge is not the way to live, unlike Sasuke...
Jouji's father and sensei, before being murdered by Itachi, taught him some fire element ninjutsu, genjutsu and taijutsu. Although Jouji knows some technique that were used by Sandaime Hokage Sama as well, they aren't as powerfull yet.
- Katon Housenka no Jutsu (Phoenix Fire)
- Katon Ryuuka no Jutsu (Dragon Fire)
- Katon, Karyuu Endan (Dragon Flame Blast)
- Karyuudan (Fire Dragon Missile)
- Katon Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Great Fireball)
Knowing that fire can endanger one's life, his sensei also taught him how to use
Fuka Hoin (Fire Sealing).
During one of the covert operations to which Jouji participated, he found a ancient scroll containing jutsus based on Amaterasu (
天照). Jouji managed to learn one of the jutsu's from that scroll, before one of the felines he can summon,
ブラックパンサー (Burakku Pansaa, Black Panther), took the scroll to his dimension because it is far to dangerous to be used.
The jutsu he learned was
黒い太陽の誕生の術 (Kuroi taiyou no tanjou no Jutsu, Birth of the Black Sun).
To use this Jutsu, Jouji has to perform a sequence of four specific handseals in the right order:
虎 竜神 鳥 蛇, which stand for: Tora (Tiger), Ryuu (Dragon), Tori (Bird) and Hebi (Snake).
These seals, followed by
Shikumi no Jutsu (Intent to Kill) starts the process of the Birth of the Black Sun.
Basically, that jutsu ignites the Amaterasu or Black Fire inside of the victims organs, consuming him rapidly from the inside. I don't need to make a sketch to explain what a painful death this is.
The weak point of that jutsu however, is the Intent to Kill. If not powerful enough or if the victim escapes from the killing intent, nothing will happen and Jouji lost a significant amount of Chakra need to perform
Kuroi taiyou no tanjou no jutsu correctly.
As for Jouji's
Kuchiyose no Jutsu, he can summon all kind of cats and felines. Burakku Pansaa is the most powerful of them. Depending on the amount of chakra used to summon him, his size will be different as well, varying from normal panther size to a demon that can level a mountain.
The cat you see on the picture is
かえで, which means
Maple Leaf. Kaeda is intelligent, able to talk and helps Jouji often during his mission. He's a little bit like Kakashi's Pakkun. He also likes being taken care of by beautiful girls, that's why he often uses his Kawai no Jutsu
Jouji is a boy having a rare
血継限界 (Kekkei Genkai), called
黒壇眼, Kurodangan (Ebony Eyes). With this bloodlime limit, Jouji can alter the amount of S, L and M cones in his eyes, to gain trichromatic (colour) or dichromatic (black & white) vision. Thanks to this ability, Jouji has an incredibly sharp vision and he can see as if in daylight in pitchblank areas. When in dichromatic mode, Jouji can also see the chakra concentrations in someone's body, and depending on the area, try to evaluate what type of attach his opponent will do. This is particulary handy when the opponent is preparing for Genjutsu.
________________
On the picture, Kaeda is sitting next to Jouji. He's a rather big sized cat, but still kawai. The scar on Jouji's face is from his mission where he learned Kuroi taiyou no tanjou no Jutsu. Jouji can also fight using a Katana. The Katana in front of him is the one given by his Uchiha father/sensei and only used on very special occasion during combat, when his honour is at stake or when he defends his beloved ones.
The Kanji on his name tag are correct if my research and comprehension were right.
The Kanji on that ability shart probably isn't... the scan used was rather poor, and I've no idea what chart I could draw for him.
Jouji's eyes are similar to Kaeda's. That because he's using the Kurodangan in dichromatic mode.
Cats ? Baaaaaaka neko >.<
Wondering why I took a cat ? Pretty easy ^^
I've two adorable cats at home. I'm not really a dog-kind of person.
Also, I miss cats a little in Naruto. They would be a nice addition

Where does the name Jouji comes from?
Spoiler:
The Boy Who Drew Cats
Once there was a boy who loved to draw. His name was Joji.
Joji grew up on a farm with lots of brothers and sisters. The others were a big help to their father and mother. But not Joji!
He did nothing for hours but draw in the dirt with a stick. And what Joji drew was just one thing.
Cats.
Cats, cats, and more cats. Small cats, big cats, thin cats, fat cats. Cats, cats, cats, cats, cats.
“Joji,” his father told him, “you must stop drawing all those cats! How will you ever be a farmer?”
“I’m sorry, Father. I’ll try to stop.”
And he did try. But whenever Joji saw one of the farm cats go by, he forgot about his chores and drew another cat.
“Joji will never make a farmer,” said the farmer sadly to his wife.
“Maybe he could be a priest,” she told him. “Why don’t you take him to the temple?”
So the farmer brought Joji to the priest at the village temple. The priest said, “I will gladly teach him.”
From then on, Joji lived at the temple. The priest gave him lessons in reading and writing. Joji had his own box of writing tools, with a brush and an ink stick and a stone.
Joji loved to make the ink. He poured water in the hollow of the stone. He dipped the ink stick in the water. Then he rubbed the stick on the stone. And there was the ink for his brush!
Now, the other students worked hard at their writing. But not Joji! With his brush and rice paper, he did nothing for hours but draw. And what Joji drew was just one thing.
Cats.
Cats, cats, and more cats. Small cats, big cats, thin cats, fat cats. Cats, cats, cats, cats, cats.
“Joji,” the priest told him, “you must stop drawing all those cats! How will you ever be a priest?”
“I’m sorry, honorable sir. I’ll try to stop.”
And he did try. But whenever Joji saw one of the temple cats go by, he forgot about his writing and drew another cat.
That was bad enough. Then Joji started drawing on the folding screens of the temple. Soon there were cats on all the rice-paper panels. They were everywhere!
“Joji, you’ll never make a priest,” the priest told him sadly. “You’ll just have to go home.”
Joji went to his room and packed his things. But he was afraid to go home. He knew his father would be angry.
Then he remembered another temple in a village nearby. “Maybe I can stay with the priest there.”
Joji started out walking. It was already night when he got to the other village.
He climbed the steps to the temple and knocked. There was no answer. He opened the heavy door. It was all dark inside.
“That’s strange,” said Joji. “Why isn’t anyone here?”
He lit a lamp by the door. Then he saw something that made him clap. All around the big room were folding screens with empty rice-paper panels.
Joji got out his writing box and made some ink. Then he dipped in his brush and started to draw. And what Joji drew was just one thing.
Cats.
Cats, cats, and more cats. Small cats, big cats, thin cats, fat cats. Cats, cats, cats, cats, cats.
The screen he drew on last was almost as long as the room. Joji covered it with one gigantic cat—the biggest and most beautiful cat he had ever drawn.
Now Joji was tired. He started to lie down. But something about the big room bothered him.
“I’ll find someplace smaller.”
He found a cozy closet and settled inside. Then he slid shut the panel door and went to sleep.
Late that night, Joji awoke in fright.
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
It sounded like a large, fierce animal in the temple! Now he knew why no one was there. He wished he wasn’t there either!
He heard the thing sniff around the big room. It halted right in front of the closet. Then all at once . . .
Yowl!
There was a sound of struggling, and a roar of surprise and pain. Then a huge thud that shook the floor.
Then a soft padding sound. Then silence.
Joji lay trembling in the dark. He stayed there for hours, afraid to look out of the closet.
At last, daylight showed at the edge of the door. Joji carefully slid the door open and peered out.
In the middle of the room lay a monster rat—a rat as big as a cow! It lay dead, as if something had smashed it to the floor.
Joji looked around the room. No one and nothing else was there—just the screens with the cats. Then Joji looked again at the one gigantic cat.
“Didn’t I draw the head to the left and the tail to the right?”
Yes, he was sure of it. But now the cat faced the other way—as if it had come down off the screen and then gone back up.
“The cat!” said Joji. His eyes grew wide. Then he pressed his palms together and bowed to the screen.
“Thank you, honorable cat. You have saved me. For as long as I live, no one will stop me from drawing cats.”
* * *
When the villagers learned that the monster rat was dead, Joji became a hero. The village priest let him live in the temple as long as he liked.
But Joji did not become a priest. And he did not become a farmer.
He became an artist. A great artist. An artist honored through all the country. An artist who drew just one thing.
Cats!

So... that's the character I invented today
What do you think about him ? Design, abilities, jutsu, background etc...
Note that it took more time to write this than to draw Jouji ^^'
* Yawn* I'm gonna sleep now... 1:13 AM O_o
