Casting Time: 1 Reaction which you take when you take damage from a source other than psychic damage

Chakra Point Cost: 3 points

When you take damage from a source other than psychic damage, you can use your reaction to surround yourself with coiled snakes that take the brunt force of the damage. You take half of the damage you would have taken. Any secondary effect of the triggering damage still occurs. For example, if a jutsu would deal damage and cause a creature to be knocked prone, you would take half the damage, but you would still be knocked prone if you failed the save.

The snakes remain until the end of your next turn and continue to reduce damage until that time.

Stomach Storage

B-Rank Ninjutsu

Casting Time: 1 Action

Range: Self

When you cast this jutsu, you can swallow a small or smaller object and place it within a special dimension which is connected to your stomach. If this object would normally hurt or be potentially fatal to swallow, it is not considered so when you use this jutsu.

Additionally, you can choose to remove an object stored within your stomach when you cast this jutsu.

A-Rank

Serpentine Regeneration

A-Rank Ninjutsu

Casting Time: 1 Bonus Action

Range: Self

Duration: 1 Hour

Chakra Point Cost: 4 points

When you cast this jutsu you appear to shed your skin. Any lingering wounds or malediction that you have are repaired as you enter your new form. These conditions would include missing limbs, missing organs, festering wounds, diseases, curses (not curse marks), poisons, blindness, or other harmful conditions.

In addition to the instantaneous repairs, the first time you drop to 0 hit points within 1 hour of casting this jutsu, you instead drop to 4d8 + your ninjutsu ability modifier in hit points as the lingering regenerative effects pulse through your system.

S-Rank

Hidden Jutsu Serpent Seal

S-Rank Ninjutsu

Casting Time: 1 Action

Range: 5 feet

Duration: 10 Days

Chakra Point Cost: 5 points

You can store a ninjutsu within a snake to cast at a later time. When you cast this jutsu, select a ninjutsu that you have prepared that has a chakra point cost of 5 or lower. That jutsu is sealed within a serpent that you conjure. The serpent uses the stats of a Giant Poisonous Snake, however it is tiny instead of medium. A creature can release the sealed jutsu within the snake by touching it, using the action it would take to cast the jutsu. When this action is taken, the jutsu is cast as if you had cast it even if you were not the one to activate the stored jutsu, however it requires no chakra to do so.

This jutsu persists for 10 days, until you use the jutsu stored in the snake, or until you cast this jutsu again, at which point the snake withers and dies. If the snake is reduced to 0 hit points, the snake dies, and the sealed jutsu inside is dispersed with no effect.

Orochimaru’s Substitution

S-Rank Ninjutsu

Casting Time: 1 Reaction which you take when you are reduced to 0 hit points

Range: 5 feet

Duration: Instantaneous

Chakra Point Cost: 10 points

You utilize this life-altering jutsu to avoid death by vomiting up a new fresh body from your broken one. You activate this jutsu as a reaction when you are reduced to 0 hit points. When you cast this jutsu, you vomit yourself up in a space 5 feet away. You regain all of your hit points and hit dice, and any missing limbs or organs are replaced instantaneously. Any objects or gear you have on your person are transferred to your new body.

Using this jutsu in succession has its drawbacks. After you use this jutsu once, if you use it again before taking a long rest, you must make a DC 18 constitution saving throw. On a failed save, you gain a level of exhaustion. For each time you use this ability thereafter, the DC increases by 5. This increase resets when you fail the save or when you take a long rest.

After you cast this jutsu, your original body disintegrates leaving no remains.
