Your lives were forfeited the very moment my gaze fixed upon you. - Tentai
Tentai (天体, Heavenly Body) is a shinobi of the Whirlpool District's Uzumaki Clan and a student of the famous Ketsugo Uzumaki. He is also Ketsugo's successor. His recent monikers include the Heavenly Demon (天魔, Tenma) or the Ten Divine Demon (十神魔, Jūshinma) in the Underworld Society.
Personality[]
"Prideful, sarcastic, and narcissistic" are just a few words to describe Tentai, yet there is much more to his character. Tentai takes pride not in himself, but rather in his lineage, showing incredible devotion to working towards the improvement of the clan each day. The obsession, drive, and pride he displays are essential for becoming a better person and member of the Uzumaki Clan, although some might view it as vanity due to his prideful nature. The calculative nature was instilled by his mentor, Ketsugo Uzumaki, in order to be cautious and attentive, dwelling in the interest of archiving and studying information he otherwise hadn't attained, making him similar to his mentor in that aspect.
Tentai observing his opponents from afar
Tentai doesn't enjoy being put on the spot when people are at their worst. This became evident when Gyoken cried, mistakenly thinking that Tentai was his father. Tentai was paralyzed and shocked at Gyoken's cries, prompting him to comfort the child and tend to him like a fragile individual. Tentai has a tendency to make jokes in the heat of the moment, especially if it's to cheer someone up. His humor serves as a tool for lifting the spirits of those around him. Despite his outward demeanor, he can be rather mysterious, adept at keeping his true intentions masked. Tentai maintains a facade, navigating through life with a concealed agenda.
Appearance[]
Tentai is unmistakably identified as a Uzumaki by his vibrant red hair, a distinctive trait shared across every member of the Uzumaki Clan. This striking crimson hue complements the deep blue of his eyes, which are often described as more intense than the boundless ocean and the expansive sky. However, those who lock eyes with him find the gaze unsettling, as if a monstrous entity has briefly peered into their soul. Several illustrations of the seals, including the Colorless Canvas Art is painted onto his body. Though he refers to it as the Black Canvas Seal, it serves as a reflection of his perverted usage of the fuinjutsu.
Overall Abilities[]
As one of the strongest individuals, Tentai's dominating prowess extends to the fields of Taijutsu and Fuinjutsu, expanding its capabilities to include the usage of Juinjutsu and Nintaijutsu. His chakra control and reserves alone enable Tentai to subjugate his opponents without much issue. Additionally, Tentai possesses an incredible regenerative ability, suspected to be originating from his heritage and fuinjutsu capabilities, allowing him to heal from any wounds.Stamina, speed, and agility are all his to command. Although Tentai does not possesses elements of his own, his Nintaijutsu allows him to generate powerful gales from punches, kicks, and to some extent, he can even produce fire through sheer force.
Taijutsu[]
Dubbed as the Heavenly Demon (天魔, Tenma, VIZ: Combat God), Tentai is considered one of the strongest individuals due to his expertise in utilizing martial arts with raw and unconventional methods. Underestimating him at close range is a grave mistake, as his strength lies in countering any move effortlessly, rendering opponents' martial arts ineffective. Tentai utilizes a unique fighting style, Vortex Fist (うず拳, Uzuken, VIZ: Spiral Fist), which focuses on countering physical attacks. Inspired by whirlpools, it is designed to mimic the motion of a whirlpool, serving as a defensive stance to effortlessly deflect any incoming physical attacks. Due to the rotation, it grants Tentai the ability to adjust his direction at whim without telegraphing his future actions, thereby distracting even those with the Sharingan. He also employs the Sturdy Fist (頑拳, Ganken, VIZ: Resolute Fist), enabling him to throw powerful punches and kicks augmented by chakra. With a single punch, he can generate a potent gale, sending objects in his direction away with sheer force, uplifting trees, people, and even more. This ability allows him to repel even ninjutsu with the force emanating from a punch. It is said that when someone takes a hit from a sturdy punch, they find themselves being struck by the force of a sheer wind.
Furthermore, he possesses the ability to mimic and absorb techniques from opponents, converting them into fuel that enhances his continuously evolving fighting style. It's noted that Tentai can dominate the very essence of his chakra, integrating it into every aspect of his techniques, thus elevating it to a level that could be considered the pinnacle of Nintaijutsu. Through this mastery, Tentai can unleash devastating blows through punches and kicks, capable of creating craters and tunnels in the wake of his attacks. He is even capable of punching through ninjutsu with sheer force, rendering them useless.
Fuinjutsu[]
The moniker Ten Divine Demon (十神魔, Jūshinma) is given to Tentai, representing his skills in the sealing arts, his efforts are decorated throughout his body like a painting with multi fuctions. It is rumored that the seals itself are anchored to its creator's consciousness. Through the usage of Fuinjutsu, Tentai is capable of sealing a tailed beast, siphoning chakra or life force, adjusting existing seals to alter their functions on the fly, and even using them to summon items or parts of buildings to his whereabouts in similar fashion. He is also capable of disrupting the chakra flow by imprinting a seal onto the victim, interrupting the chakra flow and resulting in the eventual death of his victims. The reason why he was considered a demon is that he is also capable of causing his victims to be similarly sealed at an extremely slow rate, causing his victims to experience intense pain. He can isolate the seal to only affect a specified limb, though he mentioned it requires extensive preparation and timing. Making use of his knowledge, Tentai can repair, strengthen, or weaken existing seals, making him the antithesis of those who specialize in Fuinjutsu, only to be matched by the best of the Uzumaki Clan, contributing to his self-confidence.
The capability of imprinting others with a Juinjutsu was something to be accomplished with feats, allowing him to seal pieces of his consciousness and chakra onto the victims. This imprinting results in the Curse Seal of Void (虚無の呪印, Kyomu no Juin, VIZ: Null Curse Mark), performing similarly, enabling the victim the ability to utilize Tentai's power to a certain degree; though it is said it can be the same in reverse. It is noted that the Curse Seal of Void is rather corrosive, as it overwrites the victims' personality to be similar to its creator, resulting in them becoming influenced by his thoughts. Those who carry the seal cannot utter nor disclose the creator's name, appearance, or even whereabouts with a bad intention, as it also serves as a silence of oath seal. Those who die would find themselves being absorbed by the seal until there's no trace of them.
Among his techniques is his signature sealing technique, the Twelve Trigrams Sealing Style (十二支封印術, Jūni Shifūin Jutsu; VIZ: Twelve Sign Seal), a stronger form of the Four Symbols Seal, as well as the successor to the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style. This technique uses three of the Four Symbols Seal in tandem, strengthening the overall seal along with an additional ability. It is implied that there is an advanced level of this technique, which incorporates four of the Four Symbols Seal.
As the student of Ketsugo Uzumaki, Tentai not only honed his skills but also mastered his mentor's signature technique. This enabled him to infuse his body with an exceptional array of information, seamlessly enabling him to harness a wealth of knowledge and experiences. Operating on the principle of preserving and stockpiling information, both old and new, Tentai possesses the means to draw upon any needed information with one hundred percent accuracy, ensuring clarity at every level. Taking his proficiency to the next level, Tentai developed his own iteration known as the Black Canvas Seal. This advanced technique goes beyond mere information storage, extending to the archival of his opponents' fighting styles observed through his sight and more.
Life Force[]
The moniker Relentless Beast (不屈の獣, Fukutsu no Kemono. VIZ: Tenacious Beast. Other: Tenacious Bastard) is bestowed upon Tentai due to the resilience he displays against injuries that could otherwise prove fatal to those around him. Capable of enduring even the extraction of a tailed beast, like his ancestors, as well as becoming a host to any entity without issues, this ability is attributed to his incredible life force. Within the Uzumaki Clan, Ketsugo identifies Tentai as a uniquely exceptional member, blessed with the largest life force and chakra, second only to Ketsugo himself. This feat makes Tentai a rare presence within his clan, and his very name, meaning 'Heavenly Body,' serves as a testament to this.
Tentai's robust life force extends beyond mere resilience, impacting his healing abilities as well. His body's ability to recover from severe wounds is notably swift even among the Uzumaki, showcasing the rigorous nature of his constitution. This inherent vitality has further optimized his body for the use of the Heal Bite ability, allowing him to heal others at a rapid rate. Despite this, Tentai dislikes utilizing this skill to heal others, as he prefers the usage of Fuinjutsu more.Trivia[]
