I was playing with manuster when I remembered an idea for a time manipulation jutsu.
This jutsu could possibly use lag to make you somewhat faster/slow down opponents.
For example, it could make you a little faster than the rest of the players in the game,
or slow down opponents with deliberately instigated lag
and for a short while it would seem as if you are almost teleporting,
similar to lag ingame currently.
The way it would work, if I remember my original idea, is that it will
cause a bit of lag, which will make it seem as if the user is stuttering/teleporting,
when in fact he is simply moving faster.
I understand that Vreg doesn't want anything that gives an unfair edge,
and so there will of course be some drawbacks.
Since SLO will be based on skill, but also training your chakra and stamina
to be stronger, this will be a secret forbidden jutsu.
Those who use this will usually be extremely powerful already, due to the requirements.
Of course, this wouldn't be a forbidden jutsu without any drawbacks.
To activate this jutsu you could either:
1: Hold down a specific key to speed up your own time.
2: After entering the jutsu combination to activate it,
you would be required to perform it again to end the jutsu's effect.
And after is is ended, you would be slowed down for an equal amount of time
you used it. For instance, if you used it for ten seconds to speed yourself up,
it would afterwards slow you down for 10 seconds.
A lot can happen in ten whole seconds. That sluggishness could make the difference in a fight.
Thus, this jutsu should only be used as an ace in the hole.
Wether you choose to wield it or not is your responsibility, as are the drawbacks.
Either way, as long as the jutsu is active, it will rack up a chakra cost.
After the jutsu is ended, the cost will come into effect and drain your chakra
based on how long you used it. It is in essence a delayed effect.
As to wether you can use jutsu while using this one...
I think that it would perhaps be better to keep the caster from using other ninjutsu
while this one is active, since it would likely require an insane amount
of concentration and effort just to pull at the fabric of time.
It would be hard to use other ninjutsu in conjunction with this one.
The caster could be limited to physical attacks, such as taijutsu and kenjutsu.
However, if it is permitted, then manuster suggested that jutsu's should cost
double the ordinary amount of chakra. I suggested the normal amount.
At any rate,
if you use ninjutsu and use up all your chakra before the time-jutsu is complete,
after it has ceased functioning, the physical drawbacks will take effect.
If you do not have enough chakra to equal the amount of time you spent using it,
the jutsu will drain your health as well. This can also be combined with coughing up blood.
Just for cool visuals, if your graphics settings are on high,
we can make the user have the appearance of vibrating extremely fast,
a la the flash.
EDIT: Although now that I think about it, I'm not sure this idea could work.
Not to mention the fact that this proposal is rather badly formulated.
If you have any ideas for something like this, please post them here.
DOUBLE EDIT:
I just had another idea. This could be used for a genjutsu,
such as having the target see everything as frozen around them.
They will be able to move around in this illusion, while in reality their body is stock still.
