Arsenal Gloves [small]

Name: Arsenal Gloves [small]

Appearance: The outermost layer is black and leathery, with pronounced seams. They pretty much appear to be normal gloves, except for the maker's name marked on each wrist in red thread. Hey, you can't beat free advertising.

Rank: C

Special Abilities: These gloves are formed by placing layers of thin cloth between two "shells", each inside layer covered in tiny seals and the outer layers crafted to protect them (and the hands beneath). These seals store small objects such as kunai and shuriken, allowing the wearer to release them at will. Even the half-second it takes to grab something out of a pocket can mean the difference between life and death; while wearing the gloves a shinobi can summon any of the items sealed inside by touching the appropriate point with a finger of either hand.

Origin: The gloves were first envisioned by a weaponsmith who watched almost his entire stock of shuriken vanish in a sudden rainstorm. For the short term, he invested in a portable canvas shelter. His long-term strategy was more creative-- he asked a fellow craftsman who specialized in Fuuinjutsu to develop a sealing system that wasn't destroyed by water. The shinobi went one better-- he produced a series of pairs of gloves and pouches marked with varying sizes of seals, heavily resistant to all of the elements. The pair of gloves Aritomo has are the version with the smallest seals, but the largest number of them.

Contents: Maeno Aritomo generally has the following items sealed inside his gloves:

Left glove:
7x Kunai
4x Shuriken
2x Food Pill
2x Empty vial, stoppered
5x Explosive Tag, rolled
1x Smoke Bomb
1x Coin [low value]
4x Senbon Needle [not individually stored]

Right glove:
4x Kunai
8x Shuriken
1x Food Pill
10x Caltrops
2x Smoke Bomb
3x Explosive Tag, rolled
1x Empty vial, stoppered
1x Plasma Pill


Note: Despite the fact that black leather gloves are incredibly common, I couldn't find a picture for these that I liked. Suggestions welcome.

---> Something this complex needs to be at least C ranked.

---> How many weapons of what type are there sealed in each glove?

---> Bear in mind you will need specific jutsu (Weapon Summoning etc.) to accompany these if you intend to use them.

Done. I've already put a post up about explaining the Weapon Ranks .

Scrolls can apparently hold dozens of even large weapons (cough*Temari*cough). The gloves have a smaller surface area, but they're layered, and they only hold small objects. In the interests of balance, let's say each glove can hold 30 whatevers (kunai, shuriken, caltrops, etc), or any combination of small objects totaling 30. If this is approved I'll add a "baseline" describing what Ari usually has in them.

Already done. Ari has item sealing/unsealing jutsu trained and approved. It's not in my profile, but it's part of a batch you can read here-- the last entry:

If that's not enough to use these gloves, please tell me.

You require touch or a handseal to summon and unsummon weapons. You wont be able to hold out your hand and have one simply appear. Only My KKG, The odolwa's have this ability.

Hmmm... If the seals were in contact with the skin of the wearer, would that count as touch? Alternatively, if the glove was brought into contact with some other portion of the body, would that count? There are multiple instances of shinobi triggering seals while wearing gloves, so a thin layer of cloth shouldn't be able to block it...

And for what it's worth, I haven't read your KKG. No copyright lawsuits, please!

I think you'd be okay so long as you included particular details regarding this in your item description.

Also, if you would, please include exact numbers of what items are sealed in each glove.

Edited. How's that?

I see no problem with this other than the first (left) glove having 'spare room'. I reckon it's more or less full, going by what the second (right) glove has stored. Remove the 'not filled' clause and this can be approved.

Done. If he finds something that has to be stored, Ari can always drop something else .

Of course. Approved and added to your character profile.
