User:Ain Soph Aur/Yūmei Kokūzō: Abilities and Power

As the Hokage and previously the leader of Genesis and Akatsuki, Yūmei is an extraordinarily powerful shinobi, and recognised as the most powerful member of the previously mentioned criminal organizations, as well of Konohagakure as his new title suggests. It should be noted he possesses great stores of chakra, being able to cast a long chain of S-rank techniques without tiring.

Intelligence
Even without the Rinnegan, Yūmei is a formidable opponent. He is highly intelligent, possessing a genius-level intellect, and is capable of devising and executing strategies with incredible speed and precision. The conspicuous appearances of Yūmei and knack for evading hostile confrontation demonstrate his mental acuity; ranging from his superb skill in playing shōgi, to when figuring out the identity of an individual he can only acknowledge mentally, Yūmei instantly comes up with fourteen different possibilities for the former's identity - including the correct one.

Rinnegan
Yūmei's incredible power stemmed mainly from his kekkei genkai, the legendary Rinnegan. This was originally possessed by the Sage of the Six Paths, the world's first ninja, and the founder of modern ninjutsu. Yūmei mastered all six nature transformations, something that was completely unprecedented, and is well versed in all the mainstream ninjutsu, mastering them at a young age. It is believed the Rinnegan allows Yūmei to use any technique he wishes, which had led to his invention of Feng Shui Art, as well as Primitive Reincarnation. Yūmei is highly proficient in genjutsu, evidence of this being his masterful usage of Ephemeral, which doesn't require him to cast any hand seals. He can also use the Rinnegan to install mental barriers and traps in his minions' minds to prevent others from accessing secret information. The Rinnegan also enhanced Yūmei's vision of chakra in a similar manner to the other great dōjutsu, allowing him to see the chakra of barrier techniques around the perimeter of his location, and the chakra gathered at a shinobi's feet. Using the Outer Path's ability, he can create chains which can control tailed beasts and are very difficult to remove.

Animal Path
The Animal Path (畜生道, Chikushōdō) grants Yūmei the ability to summon various creatures. The Animal Path's main abilities revolves around summoning various animals and creatures to aid him as the summoner in battle. Each creature serves a different purpose in battle, much like every path is also different from the others. Each animal summon also has the Rinnegan and as such Yūmei is able to see through their eyes as well. Each animal had various body piercings as well, suggesting that they are under his control.

Asura Path
The Asura Path (修羅道, Shuradō) grants Yūmei the ability to summon mechanised armor, augmenting their body with extra limbs and various robotic weaponry. The Asura Path allows him to fire one of his left forearms off as a long-range projectile, and can pull out his arms to reveal and fire a cluster of segmented missiles at its targets. It can quickly propel himself forward with a burst of chakra from its boots, and can protract multiple blades and drills from his right arm in combat. Also, he can open up the crown of its head to release a powerful chakra blast that is capable of destroying numerous buildings at once.

Deva Path
The Deva Path (天道, Tendō) grants Yūmei the ability to manipulate attractive and repulsive forces. His main abilities associated with this path revolved around the manipulation of attractive and repulsive forces, allowing him to repel or attract objects or people. However, he could not perform techniques such as Banshō Ten'in and Shinra Tensei in rapid succession, leaving it vulnerable for a short period of time after each use. This period of time between usages varied from five seconds to several minutes, depending upon the force of the repulsion or attraction that the Deva Path had used. Yūmei's mastery over the power of this path has lead to the creation of techniques such as Kami e no Fukujū and Chakra-Empowered Devastation.

Human Path
The Human Path (人間道, Ningendō) grants Yūmei the ability to remove the soul of any target he touches as well as read their mind. Through the Human Path, Yūmei possesses the capability of mind reading simply by placing his hand over the target's head, and can extract any information or secret being hidden by the victim against their will. However, using the technique will inevitably pull the soul out of the target's body, causing instant death.

Naraka Path
The Naraka Path (地獄道, Jigokudō) grants Yūmei two main abilities: interrogation and restoration, by using the King of Hell. To interrogate, he needs only catch hold of a person, causing the King of Hell to appear before them. With the victim seemingly paralysed, Yūmei begins questioning them. After answers are given, the King of Hell will unzip its mouth to release tendril-like arms and would draw out an apparition of the victim's life force energy in the form of an enlarged tongue. The King of Hell then proceeds to pass its judgement. If the person was lying or refused to answer the questions, the King of Hell would remove their tongue and consume it, apparently killing them. However, if they told the truth, they would be spared, although left extremely exhausted. The second ability Yūmei through the Naraka Path possesses is the ability to repair any damage. To do so he has the King of Hell ingest the damaged body with its tendril-like arms into its mouth. Then, after some time, the destroyed body will emerge from its mouth, completely healed and rejuvenated.

Outer Path
The Outer Path (外道, Gedō) is the ability granted to Yūmei to revive the dead. Said to live outside the realm of life and death, Yūmei could use the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique to revive people that he recently killed. His ability to absorb the Yin chakra of all living organisms within a specified radius complements his rapid development into one of the most powerful, wise and terrifying shinobi on the continent.

Preta Path
The Preta Path (餓鬼道, Gakidō) grants Yūmei the ability to absorb an infinite amount of chakra in any form using the Blocking Technique Absorption Seal. This path's "chakra absorption" ability is primarily defensive, since Yūmei is capable of absorbing any ninjutsu-related technique with it, thereby nullifying its effect. This technique can also take the form of a barrier around his body, allowing him to absorb attacks from all directions. In addition to its defensive properties, this body's ability possesses offensive capabilities, as Yūmei can potentially absorb all the chakra out of any person that he touches or grabs.

Ninjutsu
Possessing the Rinnegan, Yūmei possesses all five of the basic chakra affinities, and is in possession of the kekkei tōta as a result of his implied experimentation on moulding together various chakra natures to apply devastatingly-destructive effects to usually intermediately-ranked ninjutsu. He has also created a number of ninjutsu augmented into his fighting style, granting him a high level of versatility when on the battlefield. Yūmei's techniques also often involve usage of crows, both in ninjutsu and genjutsu. This is seen amongst others with his creation of a clone that dissolves into crows and using crows to hide shuriken in them.

Power Release
Power Release (力遁, Rikiton; Viz "Energy Style") is an advanced nature kekkei tōta, an advanced version of kekkei genkai, which is created by combining the fire, lightning, and yin natures. Most of the techniques of this nature initially form as or are charged with as a catalyst, what appears to be red bolts resembling lightning. This element allows Yūmei to manipulate an unfathomable amount of energy in the form of said lightning to pulsate throughout both matter and chakra, usually accompanied with an emission of red light, making it superior to both Lightning Release and other Kekkei Genkai requiring it, being that there is no limit to the amount of energy that may be expelled, and the fact that even one charge can disrupt the neurons and disperse the electrons of matter. It is due to this that making the absorption of this particular chakra nature extremely lethal in the presence of Yūmei who may amplify the ferocity of the matter at will and inflict a grevious amount of damage to the absorber; if a particular seal absorbed a technique affiliated with this chakra nature, it could potentially be destroyed as a result of the previous example.

Space–Time Ninjutsu
Yūmei is known to be highly-skilled with manipulating the space-time continuum, as demonstrated through his creation of a number of techniques capable of of utilizing it for a variety of purposes. Jigen-Tou allows him to pass through any physical object (or person) and destroy it, enabling him to "delay his own existence", essentially cutting through the space-time continuum. With such power, very little can stop a jigen-tou from cutting its target once it makes contact. This technique in particular makes him extremely dangerous in close-quarter combat, where with a few swings of his arm, he could potentially slice his opponents into three pieces. He is also capable of travelling through the space-time continuum to reach a variety destinations almost-instantaneously, as demonstrated whenever he uses Secret Technique: Pedestal of Time to reallocate himself from Konohagakure to his secret hideout underneath of the village.
