- Story

Riiko Izawa has never had a boyfriend and she has been rejected by every boy she has ever had a crush on. When she returns a lost cell phone to an oddly dressed salesman, she mentions wanting a boyfriend so to thank her, he directs her to his company's website. When she visits the site, Riiko finds it's a site to create your own lover. Thinking its a game, she customizes and accidentally orders one. The next day, her new lover arrives. Following the instruction manual, she kisses him to wake him up and configure him to be in love with only her. She names him "Night." Three days later, she is shocked to learn that she only had him for a free trial. The salesman, Gaku Namikiri, tells her that she must now pay 100,000,000 yen for Night, or they will waive the fee if she helps them to collect data about how women think and feel to help perfect future models.

Riiko must keep Night's true nature of not being human a secret from everyone around her. She also finds herself in a love triangle between Night and her childhood friend Soshi, who declares his love for her out of fear he will lose her. As the series progresses, Night begins to develop real human emotions, enabling him to truly love Riiko but also resulting in system malfunctions. When Riiko almost loses Night due to the malfunctions, she realizes that he is the one she really loves. She apologizes to Soshi, who moves to Spain with his brother. As the series ends, Night begins to grow sleepier and sleepier. The problems developed by his exceeding his abilities eventually causes his machinery to stop working, resulting in his "death". Before he died, he wrote a letter to Soshi to tell him what was happening and asking him to take care of Riiko. Soshi gives Riiko time to grieve, then returns to Japan to be at her side again.

- Characters
Riiko Izawa (井沢 リイコ Izawa Riiko)
Riiko doesn't seem to have any luck with boys until she meets a strange salesman and ends up accidentally ordering a boyfriend: Night Tenjo. Riiko is rather naïve, clumsy, and simple-minded, but kindhearted and hardworking. She seems to have feelings for Soshi and Night, which becomes the primary conflict of the story.

Night Tenjo (天城ナイト Tenjou Naito)
Night is the perfect boyfriend: charming, dependable, intelligent, athletic, good-looking, sensitive, devoted, and completely loyal. Because he is unaware of certain social conventions, he often seems over-the-top and attracts a lot of attention. Although he is a doll, albeit of a high-caliber design, he seems to have genuine emotions and to want to become more human and be a better boyfriend to Riiko. He wears a mood ring that indicates Riiko's emotions. He later crushes this ring, claiming real boyfriends didn't need it, so he didn't either. His developing genuine emotions eventually causes his system to shut down, essentially resulting in his death. Before he died, he asked Soshi to take care of Riiko in a letter which he entrusted to Gaku to deliver.

Soshi Asamoto (浅元ソウシ Asamoto Soushi)
Soshi has had a crush on Riiko since they were both children, though he has never found the nerve to confess his real feelings and instead teases her. His father is a photographer who travels around the world, so Soshi lives alone with his younger brother, Masaki. Since Riiko lives alone at the beginning of the series as well, Soshi has promised her mother to protect her. He is a very good cook and usually gives Riiko food when he suspects she needs it. Near the end of the series, he moves to Spain with his brother, but six months after he left, he returns to take care of Riiko after Night's death.

Gaku Namikiri (ガク・ナミキリ Gaku Namikiri)
Gaku is a salesman for a company known as Kronos Heaven which specializes in making highly realistic robots, or "figures," for various purposes. Though usually businesslike and down-to-earth, Gaku is sometimes mistaken for a cosplayer because of his odd manner of dress. When Riiko cannot return Night nor pay the bill for him, Gaku allows her to keep him so Night can collect data on how to become a better lover for use in future models. Whenever there is a problem with Night, Gaku is the one to fix him. After Kronos Heaven attempts to take back Night and wants to dismantle him, Gaku decides to quit the company and opens his own business. Before his death, Night entrusts Gaku to deliver a letter to Soshi.

NARUTO's Jutsu Part IV

Technique (Jutsu)

- Bloodline Limit Jutsu
1. Byakugan 

Byakugan, one of the Bloodline Limits the Hyuuga clan possesses. It’s a jutsu activated in the eyes, much like the Sharingan. But if we look at its ability of insight alone, it exceeds the sharingan. This jutsu allows the user's vision to see a full 360 degrees. Byakugan also has the ability to view the inner coil system of a person's body, and in advanced cases, the chakra holes. Because of this, Byakugan is used in combination with Hyuuga’s Style Taijutsu. Attacking the inner organs, disabling or even killing their opponent, without even hitting them. Used by: Hyuuga Neji, Hyuuga Hinata, Hyuuga Hizashi, Hyuuga Hiashi, and other members of the Hyuuga clan.


2. Meat Tank (Nikudan Sensha)

Used after Multi Size no Jutsu. This sends the enlarged body into a powerful ball capable of tearing the opponent apart, but it uses up a lot of calories and chakra. Used by: Akimichi Chouji

3. Sharingan

A pupil born technique, which allows the user to do to a large number of things. The Sharingan's first and most well known ability is to memorize any technique that it is a witness to, as well as register the movements of opponents. Second, it is able to hypnotize the opponent, giving an advantage to the user. It can also suggest movements to the hypnotized brain, and 'see through' any illusionary technique. Although it is a powerfull jutsu, it consumes a lot of chakra. The power of the Sharingan is judged through the amount of dots in the person's eye. Used by: Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Obito

4. Bug clone skill (Kikai bunshin no jutsu)

Basically the kikai (or destruction bugs) turn into a complete and exact replica of the Aburame user. Used by: Aburame Shino

5. Double Wolf Fang (Garouga)

A high speed tornado attack in which Kiba and Akamaru attack the opponent by scratching and clawing at high speeds in which they cut their enemies into pieces. The speed is so fast that ithe users cannot see, but that is no problem, Kiba and Akamaru's sense of smell leads them to their opponent. Even if they barely miss the target the extreme spin still slices the target, leaving them weak for one more shot. The technique uses a lot of chakra and energy, usually leaving the users very wiped out and tired after with a very low amount of chakra. Used by: Inuzuka Kiba, Akamaru

6. Double Headed Wolf (Sou-Tou-Rou)

The attack in which Kiba and Akamaru are both in the forum of a wolf which increases their power 10 fold. Their attacks are faster and harder and they are also impossible to stop when in this form though because this form is so strong it also requires a lot of chakra and after this renders the user useless and almost completely immobilized. This attack is usally a combo with the Garouga for maximum damage. Used by: Inuzuka Kiba, Akamaru

7. Illusionary Underworld Moon (Tsukuyomi)

A special technique that can only be used by the Uchiha clan who posses the Mange Sharingan. The technique creates an illusion which can reflect on the past or just create an illusion where Itachi does to the target whatever he wants (ex. stick swords into the enemy's body over and over again). This technique is used to attack the opponents mind and destroy his/her spirit. The events which go on in the Tsukuyomi are translated into 3 days (72 hours), while in reality only 3 seconds pass. 72 hours seems to be Itachi's limit with the illusion. This attack is another strain causer on the Itachi and if used more then once, it can tire him out. Used by: Uchiha Itachi

8. Mangekyou Sharingan (Mangekyou Sharingan)

The Mangekyou Sharingan is the advanced form of the Uchiha clan's bloodline limit: "The Sharingan". It's the Uchiha clan's most powerfull eye-technique, if not the deadliest technique shown in Naruto so far. It's a very rare technique, and it's said only a true member of the Uchiha clan is able to obtain it. The only way to obtain it is by murdering your closest friend. In Kakashi's case it's slightly different, since Uchiha Obito sacrificed himself to save him. Kakashi's Mangekyou Sharingan also differs from appearance with Itachi's. It's obvious that the Mangekyou Sharingan surpasses the ordinary Sharingan, but there are some side effects. It puts a strain on the user's eyes, and if used too much the user can go blind. It also requires an enourmous amount of chakra, in Kakashi's case even more since he's not a natural Sharingan user. Once the Mangekyou Sharingan is activated the user can temporaraly render his opponent unconscious, and is able to use 3 new techniques. Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu and another yet to be revealed technique. The Tsukoyomi traps the target in a nightmare-like state, where the target is tortured for what feels like 72 hours (3 days) to him or her, but in reality is just 1 second. The second skill, the Amatarasu, creates black flames that can burn through any surface or object. Uchiha Itachi and Hatake Kakashi are the only ones we've seen it use so far, but there's also an unknown Uchiha Mangekyou Sharingan user that Itachi mentioned to Sasuke when he left the Hidden Leaf Village. Sasuke is the only other potential Mangekyou Sharingan user, but him possessing the Mangekyou Sharingan would involve killing his best friend, Uzumaki Naruto. Used by: Uchiha Itachi, Hatake Kakashi

Technique (Jutsu)

-Genjutsu

1. Bringer of Darkness (Kokuangyou no Jutsu)
Creates an illusion of complete darkness over the battlefield. It traps the opponent into absolute darkness, where they can see nothing but their own body.

2. Clone Technique (Bunshin no Jutsu)

3. Haze Clone Technique (Oboro Bunshin no Jutsu)

The clone will act like it throws a kunai knife, when in actuality, the user of the skill will throw a Real kunai knife. Used by: Oboro, Mubi, Kagari

4. Release (Kai)
A jutsu that destroys/cancels out an illusionary jutsu attempted on the user. Only Shinobi with strong chakra control (such as Sakura) can perform.

Used by: Shinobi with strong chakra control ability

NARUTO's Jutsu Part II

Technique (Jutsu)

-Ninjutsu

1. Sexy Technique (Orioke no jutsu [sexy no jutsu])
One of Naruto's own original techniques. Basically it's henge no jutsu, but the user would transform into a beautiful naked woman. This technique causes nosebleeds but sometimes it doesn't have any affect on the opponent (perverts). But most people (mainly adult males of course) are affected. Even the Third Hokage was defeated by it. Used by: Uzumaki Naruto, Konohamaru

2. Harem skill (Harem no jutsu)
This technique is another of Naruto's comical creations. It basically involves the use of sexy no jutsu and kage bunshin no jutsu combined. Instead of just the one beautiful naked girl, there's a whole group or just more of them. Hence the name Harem. This jutsu is more effective than the sexy no jutsu since 'this causes more nosebleeds'. Used by: Uzumaki Naruto

3. Air Slicing Blast (Zankuuha)
A device implanted in both arms of the user allows the control of supersonic sound waves and air pressure. The device allows the currents to be concentrated in one place, and creates large blasts of air shot from the palms. Used by: Abumi Zaku




4. Shuriken Shadow Replication (Shuriken, Kage Bunshin no Jutsu Shuriken, Kage Bunshin no Jutsu)
A technique that multiplies a thrown object into many exact replicas of the original. It's not just an illusion, it creates real clones that all do real damage. Used by: Sandaime Hokage





5. Armor of Sand (Suna no Yoroi)
Gaara's secondary defense, a thin layer of hard, protective sand that encloses around his entire body. This technique uses up a lot of chakra and also adds a considerable amount of weight to Gaara's body mass. Used by: Gaara of the Desert




6. Beast Human Clonen (Juujin bunshin)
Basically the animal turns into an exact replica of the human and it also works vice-versa. Used by: Inuzuka Kiba, Akamaru, other members of the Inuzuka clan





7. Body substitute skill (Kawarimi no jutsu)
It's implied in the name. The user switches his or her body with a plant, animal or anything for that matter. This is used to escape dangerous situations such as many sharp projectiles being flung at the person. Sometimes you can damage your opponent with this attack even. Used by: Most Shinobi

8. Dance of the Crescent moon (Mikazuki no mai)
A sword technique which creates two clones that attack simultaneously to confuse the opponent. Used by: Gekkou Hayate






9. Demonic Soul Sealing Technique (Fuuinjutsu Shiki Fuujin)
A sealing jutsu. Summons Death himself, which joins with the actions of the user. The Death Lord reaches into a outline of a soul infront of him which is actually the summoner. When the user grabs the enemy, Death extends his hand through the soul outline and comes out from the stomach of the summoner. Death's hand goes into the enemy's stomach where from it literally rips the soul out. After the soul is pulled back into the user, the user says "Fuuin" which means "Seal" in english and this completes the seal of the soul in the user's body. This can be used until the user runs out of energy, and since it is a sealing jutsu, there is a price. The user pays the price with his life, which death devours. The souls of both the user and the target are kept in the belly of the summoning, and are enemies for all eternity. Apparently if the soul is not completely extracted from the body, Death can cut part of it and seal just the part which he has grasped. In Orochimaru's case this was his arms, which are now lifeless and unusable. Used by: Sandaime Hokage, Yondaime Hokage

10. Dead Soul Skill (Shikon no Jutsu)
A jutsu which causes a dead bodies heart to beat for a few minutes. In this time, the user can move dead bodies, to act as targets or diversions. Used by: Yakushi Kabuto

A Jutsu that summons King Enma (Demon Monkey). Enma is also able to transform into the 'Thunderbolt Staff'. Used by: Sandaime Hokage






12. Desert coffin (Sabaku kyuu)
This jutsu is uses sand to wrap around the victim's body and render them immobile. It can also kill the person by suffocation. Used by: Gaara of the Desert





13. Desert graveyard (Sabaku SouSou)
This technique uses chakra to control sand and have it wrap around the victim's body. The sand then squeezes the victim's body and kills them instantly. Used by: Gaara of the Desert



14. Double Snake Assassination (Souja sousai no jutsu)
This technique is a murder-suicide technique. Both the opponent and the user must die. This is also why it is treated as a forbidden jutsu. Used by: Mitarashi Anko, Orochimaru





15. Earth Element, Earth Rising Wall (Doton Doryuuheki)
A jutsu which when performed, allows the user to spew mud from their mouth, which grows into a large wall or hard earthen material. This wall is able to block most other jutsus, and its extremely durable. Used by: Sandaime Hokage

This jutsu is performed by Orochimaru on Naruto while in the forest of death. Using an odd-numbered seal on top of the even-numbered Kyuubi seal, the original Kyuubi seal is strengthened. As a result, Naruto becomes unable to control his chakra, and is unable to tap into his demon fox chakra. Used by: Orochimaru

21. Five Element Unsealer (Gogyo Kaiin)

22. Four Image Seal (Shisou Fuuin)
The seal that Yondaime used to lock the Kyuubi inside Naruto's Stomach. Used by: Yondaime Hokage

A very high level and forbidden summoning skill. The user summons the bodies of the person/people he prefers in wooden boxes with their name on it. After the bodies are summoned the summoner must insert kunais knifes into the summoned bodies. These knives nullify the summoned person's soul and give control of the soul to the summoner.For this summoning human sacrifices must be made so that the soul of those whom were sacrificed can tie the summoned to this world. One person must be killed for one summoned person. Two for two and so on. Used by: Orochimaru

28. Lightning Edge/Chidori (Raikiri/Chidori)
A secret move for assassination purposes. Its secret lies in the speed of the thrust, and the activation of the body to generate a large amount of Chakra. He then concentrates that large amount into the thrusting arm and rushes towards the opponent. This ability causes the body to speed up, and therefore making the attack more deadly. It emits a distinct chirping sound similar to a thousand birds (=Chidori) chirping. It's Kakashi's only original move, and it's said that he once cut through lightning with it, hence its alias: Lightning Edge. Since straight movement is easily countered by the opponent, it's used in combination with the Sharingan. Used by: Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Sasuke

29. Mind Body Switch Skill (Shintenshin no Jutsu)
Allows the user to send its spirit energy into another body, and control them. The spirit energy travels slowly, and if it misses, it takes a good amount of time to return to the body.

30. Puppet Skill (Kugutsu no Jutsu)
